Bangalore, \u00cdndia, 30 de julho de 2025 \/ 14:09 (CNA).<\/p>\n

Protestos est\u00e3o a espalhar-se pela \u00cdndia devido \u00e0 deten\u00e7\u00e3o de duas freiras sob acusa\u00e7\u00f5es de convers\u00e3o e tr\u00e1fico humano no estado de Chattisgarh, no centro da \u00cdndia. <\/p>\n

As manifesta\u00e7\u00f5es em curso, que come\u00e7aram com as deten\u00e7\u00f5es de 25 de julho, intensificaram-se ap\u00f3s o atraso na liberta\u00e7\u00e3o das freiras pelo governo nacionalista hindu do Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), que se op\u00f4s \u00e0 fian\u00e7a das religiosas, que est\u00e3o na pris\u00e3o h\u00e1 quase uma semana.<\/p>\n

\u201cQue tipo de justi\u00e7a \u00e9 esta?\u201d, questionou o Cardeal Baselios mar Cleemis, arcebispo da Igreja Syro-Malankara e ex-presidente da Confer\u00eancia dos Bispos Cat\u00f3licos da \u00cdndia, no dia 30 de julho.<\/p>\n

O prelado falou no final de uma marcha de protesto at\u00e9 \u00e0 Assembleia Legislativa de Kerala, em Thiruvananthapuram, exigindo a \u201cliberta\u00e7\u00e3o imediata\u201d das freiras, que s\u00e3o oriundas do cora\u00e7\u00e3o crist\u00e3o de Kerala.<\/p>\n

No dia 27 de julho, os bispos cat\u00f3licos indianos expressaram, num comunicado de imprensa, \u201cindigna\u00e7\u00e3o e profunda preocupa\u00e7\u00e3o com a recente deten\u00e7\u00e3o\u201d das freiras na esta\u00e7\u00e3o ferrovi\u00e1ria de Durg, em Chattisgarh. As religiosas foram detidas quando chegaram \u00e0 esta\u00e7\u00e3o para receber tr\u00eas jovens mulheres para os seus conventos.<\/p>\n

A Irm\u00e3 Preetha Mary e a Irm\u00e3 Vandana Francis pertencem \u00e0 congrega\u00e7\u00e3o das Irm\u00e3s de Assis de Maria Imaculada. A pol\u00edcia acusou-as de \u201cconvers\u00e3o e tr\u00e1fico humano\u201d, afirmaram os bispos. <\/p>\n

As freiras foram \u201csujeitas a ass\u00e9dio, falsas acusa\u00e7\u00f5es e processos fabricados. Foram agredidas fisicamente e a deten\u00e7\u00e3o ocorreu apesar das cartas de consentimento escritas, emitidas pelos pais de cada mulher com mais de 18 anos de idade\u201d, disseram os bispos.<\/p>\n

\u201cElementos antinacionais\u201d, incluindo \u201cgrupos fundamentalistas hindus\u201d, est\u00e3o a \u201cseguir os movimentos das freiras cat\u00f3licas\u201d, alegaram.<\/p>\n

\u201cTais incidentes n\u00e3o s\u00f3 amea\u00e7am a mod\u00e9stia das mulheres, como tamb\u00e9m colocam as suas vidas em grave perigo. Estas a\u00e7\u00f5es injustificadas e repetidas s\u00e3o uma grave viola\u00e7\u00e3o da Constitui\u00e7\u00e3o e n\u00e3o podem ser toleradas\u201d, afirmaram os bispos.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u00c9 absolutamente chocante e triste que as duas irm\u00e3s religiosas tenham sido detidas ilegalmente sob falsas acusa\u00e7\u00f5es de tr\u00e1fico humano e convers\u00e3o for\u00e7ada\u201d, disse a Irm\u00e3 M. Nirmalini, presidente da ala feminina da Confer\u00eancia dos Religiosos da \u00cdndia, \u00e0 CNA no dia 30 de julho. <\/p>\n

\u201cChocantemente, as acusa\u00e7\u00f5es foram feitas sem apurar ou verificar os factos\u201d, disse a freira, que pertence \u00e0 Congrega\u00e7\u00e3o do Carmelo Apost\u00f3lico.<\/p>\n

\u201cToda uma brigada antiminorias est\u00e1 a criar um frenesim para gerar uma narrativa falsa e polarizar as pessoas contra os crist\u00e3os e, particularmente, contra os tribais\u201d, disse Nirmalini. \u201cIsto deve parar imediatamente e os respons\u00e1veis, bem como a pol\u00edcia local, devem ser processados pelas autoridades superiores.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAlgumas congrega\u00e7\u00f5es pediram aos seus membros para evitarem os h\u00e1bitos tradicionais em locais p\u00fablicos para evitar o ass\u00e9dio\u201d, disse Nirmalini.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt\u00e9 o presidente do BJP em Kerala [criticou] a deten\u00e7\u00e3o das freiras. No entanto, continuam presas sob acusa\u00e7\u00f5es forjadas\u201d, disse Cleemis, que, juntamente com uma d\u00fazia de bispos, usou fitas pretas nos rostos enquanto centenas de freiras, padres e at\u00e9 n\u00e3o cat\u00f3licos se juntaram ao recente protesto na capital de Kerala.<\/p>\n

Rajeev Chandrasekhar, presidente do BJP em Kerala, disse aos jornalistas em Nova Deli: \u201cA nossa principal prioridade \u00e9 proteger as freiras e garantir a justi\u00e7a.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cA persegui\u00e7\u00e3o \u00e0s freiras atrav\u00e9s da sua pris\u00e3o \u00e9 uma vergonha para o pa\u00eds\u201d, disse John Brittas, um membro cat\u00f3lico da c\u00e2mara alta do Parlamento indiano, durante o debate parlamentar de 30 de julho.<\/p>\n

Protestos animados continuaram em v\u00e1rias outras cidades de Kerala e noutros locais, incluindo Bangalore, enquanto as freiras continuam a definhar na pris\u00e3o.<\/p>\n

\u201cN\u00e3o se pode manter a Constitui\u00e7\u00e3o indiana como ref\u00e9m. Prender freiras por oferecerem emprego a jovens mulheres crist\u00e3s com o consentimento dos seus pais \u00e9 uma vergonha nacional\u201d, disse o Arcebispo Andrews Thazhath de Thrissur num protesto a 29 de julho.<\/p>\n
