RE:RE:Ridge & his inquiry about naysayers presenceExcerpts from the article that you shared, since many here seem rather incurious about the country which hosts their favorite mining company:
-“The authorities continue to persecute not only those who express dissenting opinions but also any individual or organisation that operates independently or does not fall directly under their control,” the report said. -“The killings and other violent attacks, including gender-based violence, the deliberate burning of homes and illegal appropriation of Indigenous land and property were carried out in a context of widespread impunity,” the report said.
-Religious groups have also faced further “undue restrictions”, including 27 Catholic priests and seminarians wrongly arrested between October 2023 and January 2024, the report cites. Additionally, many religious groups have seen their legal non-governmental organization status revoked.
I personally can attest to the veracity of this claim in the report, because a Catholic charity through which we donated to a family in Nicaragua for over a decade was terminated without explanation.
Do what you want people, but at least listen to what others have to say, as it may be relevant in some small way. Or just shut your eyes and close your ears and continue to insult. At least we are still able to make that decision here without fear of retribution.
