Situation 1:A woman has been placed under house arrest for decades. She has been fighting for democracy and the liberation of her countrymen for decades. Her struggle has all the chances of going in vain as nobody really cares about her struggle or the rights of the people belonging to that country.
Situation 2: This mighty country has engulfed their “not so mighty” neighbors. They carry on their power strike as the weaker nation refuses to succumb to their pressure. The irony is that the other nations have already succumbed to this mighty nation establishing their weakness which crumbles under the power of this so called mighty nation.
Situation 1 refers to Myanmar(Burma) and the woman is none other than Aung San Su Kyi herself. Situation 2 refers to the proud Olympic host China. The intensity of this human rights violation is very clear when we analyze the quote by a girl who is a citizen of Tibet. “When no one can see the cruelty of the Chinese, what is the use of the media? When no one has the heart to help Tibet, what is the use of sympathy?”
The UN has hardly said a word regarding these human rights violations, when authorities stop reacting and become immunized against violations one really wonders about the way of this world. MIGHT IS RIGHT has become the propaganda. Alas the spine is a very effective part of the human body but only some use it well, its always tough to make use of your spine, stand up and say that’s wrong. It takes some nerve to do just that.
