"Madam President, in India the number of Christian martyrs horribly murdered by Hindu executioners is still on the rise. The Catholic Church is appealing in various parts of the world to governments and international institutions for aid for Christians in India, Iraq and Vietnam, so far without success. Sadly, the persecution of Christians is still accompanied by passivity, not only on the part of representatives of the government and legal institutions in that location, but also on the part of other democratic governments and international institutions that are actively involved in other instances of human rights violation, and this also concerns the European Union.
I would therefore like to protest before the European Parliament against the fact that human rights violations in India, Iraq and Vietnam are being ignored – I am also addressing the European Commission here – and I would like to appeal for diplomatic intervention and objection where such acts of barbarity have occurred. Passivity in the face of persecution may constitute evidence of a particular kind of discrimination against Catholics."@en1
