La NO violencia

– La NO violencia no es la simple ausencia de violencia.

La NO violencia es tener la oportunidad de hacer daño y abstenerse de hacerlo.

Es el reflejo del amor y la compasión humanas; es tan inseparable como la bondad de la compasión.

SS El Dalai Lama

– La violencia es el miedo a los ideales de los demás.

Mahatma Ghandi

UN Human Rights Expert Mocks Burma's Commitment to Democracy

Mar.14.– The United Nations human rights expert on Burma says the Burmese government's repressive actions do not reflect its pledge to make democratic reforms.

Paulo Sergio Pinheiro Friday said Burma's claim that it is committed to democracy is as believable as imaginary creatures - "gnomes, trolls and elves".

He delivered a report to the U.N. Human Rights Council this week, accusing the military government of detaining nearly 2,000 political prisoners.

Earlier today, Pinheiro said he had been granted a travel visa to Burma, but the U.N. later said the envoy was mistaken. Pinheiro has been barred from Burma for several months.

Burma's government plans to hold a constitutional referendum in May, and elections in 2010.
The new constitution would bar detained pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi from elections.

Aung San Suu Kyi and her National League for Democracy won Burma's last general elections in 1990. But the government has refused to recognize the results of those elections.
