Que lindo que é o canto coral
Lê-se a seguinte passagem no relatório da Amnistia Internacional sobre a China:
Millions of people were impeded from freely practising their religion. Thousands remained in detention or serving prison sentences, at high risk of torture, for practising their religion outside of state-sanctioned channels. Falun Gong practitioners, Uighur Muslims, Tibetan Buddhists and underground Christian groups were among those most harshly persecuted.
During the year over 100 Falun Gong practitioners were reported to have died in detention or shortly after release as a result of torture, denial of food or medical treatment, and other forms of ill-treatment.
Underground Protestant house church meetings were frequently disrupted by the police, participants often detained and beaten, and the churches sometimes destroyed.
Hua Huaiqi, a Beijing-based house church leader, was sentenced in a closed trial in June to six months in prison for obstructing justice. He was reportedly beaten in jail. His 76-year-old mother, who protested against her son’s treatment, was herself sentenced to two years in prison for destruction of public and private property after her cane struck the headlight of an oncoming police car.
Members of China’s unofficial Catholic church were repressed. An elderly Catholic bishop, Han Dingxiang, died in custody under suspicious circumstances after more than 20 years in jail. He was quickly cremated by local authorities.
Religious adherents of all beliefs had difficulty getting legal counsel, as lawyers willing to take up such sensitive cases were often harassed, detained and imprisoned."

Ouvido por mim da boquinha de chineses da RPC em coro: "Ah na Bélgica há liberdade religiosa? É como na China".

Não sei se o problema é daqui, ou não: os links não fuincionam.
A minha internet permite fazer comentários, mas nenhum link a partir do teu blog, abre. Nem os da barra da direita. Estranho...
Vou solucionar isto.
Olá Claudette,
Obrigada por me chamares à atenção. Experimentei agora mesmo o links que pus no post e funcionaram. Não sei qual será o problema. :-( Sofia
Eu acho que são os blogues de Bruxelas! Passou-se o mesmo com o blogue da Carlota...
Eh! Eh! Ná.. já descobri: é do computador do trabalho! Firewall de certeza.
beijocas.
