MALAWI LIBERA A LA PAREJA GAY

Después de haber sido sentenciados a 14 años de trabajos forzado por indecencia y actos contranatura, Steven Monjenza y Tiwonge Chimbalanga fueron liberados el sábado por el presidente de Malawi.
Tras escuchar las noticias sobre el encierro de la pareja gay, Madonna dijo que se encontraba 'impactada y entristecida' por la decisión de dicho gobierno y levantó las voces de la gente en el mundo para contradecir esa regla.
Una vez que la pareja fue liberada, Madonna mandó sus agradecimientos a miles de personas que se unieron a favor de la liberación de la pareja. Sin embargo, la homosexualidad en el país africano sigue siendo ilegal.
'Aunque estén fuera de prisión, tristemente su seguridad y futuro en Malawi aún es desconocido. Yo solo espero que este sea el comienzo de nuestro trabajo conjunto', declaró Madonna.

 

CARTA DE MADONNA EN AGRADECIMIENTO:

I have always believed love conquers all – yesterday I got to see it in action.

In the last week over 30,000 of you added your name to mine calling for the release of Steven Monjeza, and Tiwonge Chimbalanga – the Malawi couple sentenced to 14 years hard labor for the “crime” of homosexuality.

With incredible joy I am writing to share with you that yesterday, Malawi President, Bingu wa Mutharika has ordered their release. Steven and Tiwonge were freed on Saturday night. They have won their freedom and you have been a part of it.

I would love to hear your reaction to this news. Share your thoughts now: http://www.raisingmalawi.org/lovewins

We celebrate this astounding turn of events with Steven, Tiwonge, and the countless Malawians fighting for their release. It is a historic day for Malawi.

Though they are free from prison, sadly their safety and future in Malawi is still unknown. I hope this is just the beginning of our work together.

Human rights injustices continue for so many Malawians facing poverty, disease, and a lack of critical resources. There are still over two million orphans and vulnerable children who need to experience love’s embrace.

It is going to take the love and creativity all of us to bring justice to the people of Malawi.

That’s why I would like to hear from you. Tell me your thoughts on this important day in Malawi:

Thank you for joining me in Raising Malawi.

With great love,

Madonna
