Christian Priest & 5 Others to Spend Life in Jail for Gang Rape in Jharkhand

Father Alphonse Aind a Christian priest and five others sentenced to jail for the rest of their lives by Khunt  Court in the Kochang Gang Rape case involving five women of an NGO.

Father Alphonse has been sentenced for conspiracy, three youths Junas Munda, Ayub Purti and Baji Samad  have been punished for gang rape,  and two John Jonas Tiru and Balram Samad for abetment.

The women of an NGO were performing a street play on 19th June 2018 to spread awareness against human trafficking in the remote Kochang village of Khunti district when they were abducted and gang-raped.

It is not surprising that some of the Christian Priests , in the garb of Charity , hellbent upon doing conversions of the simple and innocent tribal people in some case without their consent, in the remote areas where it is difficult to reach. Not only this, They are involved in criminal activities including rape & exploitation of women (even Nuns are no exception as in the case of Kerala), and creating hatred against other religions. If  such incidents are by chance reported, they play the victim card of being Minority. Such Priests are blot on Christianity.

China's Way of Tackling Muslim Separatist Extremist Uighur Groups

Uighurs are Turkic people coming from Central and East Asia. About 110 lakh Uighurs live in the autonomous Xinjiang province situated in the west of China. Significant diasporic communities of Uighurs live in the Central Asian countries of Kazakhstan, Kyrgystan, Uzbekistan and in Turkey.

Most of the Uighurs practice Islam and are ethnic minority in China. Uighurs make up about 44% of the population in Xinjiang and Han Chinese 42% of the region. Han Chinese constitute 92% of the national population.

In 1990s there was growing anti-Han, separatist sentiments in Xinjiang with reports of violence. Government responds with force.

In July 2009 violent clashes took place between Uighurs and Han Chinese in Xinjiang in which nearly 200 people killed.

In 2013-14 there was sudden spike in violence. It is claimed that separatist terrorists conducted deadly attacks.

In April 2017 China bans long beards, veils and Islamic names in Xinjiang.

In December 2017 surveillance and security increased  in Xinjiang.

In July 2017 authorities stated clearly  that Xinjiang residents  install a phone app that scans their device and reports what it finds to authorities.

In August 2018 a UN human rights panel found that more than ten lakhs people held in internment camps.

China has put more than ten lakhs Uighurs in detention camps at Xinjiang. China has blamed separatist and extremist Uighur groups for violence. It has used it as justification to take forceful action against Muslim minority group. In Xinjiang every move is watched and recorded as China has turned to technology to tighten its grip on the Uighurs.
