UN condemns Myanmar monk Wirathu's 'sexist' comments 유엔 미안마 승려 위가투의 '성차별적' 발언을 비난

Wirathu spoke at a rally where he criticised the UN and personally attacked the UN envoy 위라투는 집회에서 유엔을 비판하며 개인적으로 유엔 특사(이양희)를 공격했다.

The UN human rights chief has called on Myanmar to condemn a Buddhist nationalist monk for calling a UN special envoy a "bitch" and a "whore". 유엔 인권문제 책임자는 유엔특사를 "쌍년" "창녀"라고 칭한 미안마의 국수주의자 불교 승려를 비난했다

UN human rights chief Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein said Ashin Wirathu's comments amounted to "incitement to hatred".

The comments related to South Korean envoy Yanghee Lee, who was in Myanmar last week to address the plight of its Muslim minority.

Wirathu spent almost a decade in jail for inciting anti-Muslim violence.

The monk is a leader of the 969 movement, which says Myanmar should remain a Buddhist country and calls for restrictions and boycotts on Muslims.

Mr Zeid called the language "sexist" and "insulting".

"I call on religious and political leaders in Myanmar to unequivocally condemn all forms of incitement to hatred including this abhorrent public personal attack," Mr Zeid said in a statement.

'Systematic discrimination'

Since the end of military rule in Myanmar, also known as Burma, in 2011, Buddhist nationalism, largely led by monks including Wirathu, has been energised.

In 2012, scores of people died and thousands were left homeless after violence broke out between Buddhists and Muslims in Rakhine state, mostly from the Rohingya minority. Anti-Muslim violence has flared several times since then.

The UN says the Rohingya are being persecuted, and last week passed a resolution calling on Myanmar to give them citizenship.

Yanghee Lee said displaced Rohingya were living in "abysmal" conditions in refugee camps 이양희는 추방된 로힝야 사람들은 피나난민촌에서 최악의 상태에서 살고 있다고 말했다.

Ms Lee, who was on a 10-day trip to the South East Asian country, said the Rohingya faced systematic discrimination.

She criticised draft legislation, proposed by a coalition of nationalist Buddhist monks, that includes curbs on interfaith marriage and religious conversions.

Last Friday, Wirathu spoke at a public rally where he criticised the UN interference and personally attacked Ms Lee, according to local media.

"We have explained about the race protection law, but the bitch criticised the laws without studying them properly," he said from the stage to the crowd. "우리는 인종보호법에 대해 설명했어요. 그러나 쌍년은 이 법을 제대로 검토도 하지 않고 비판했어요."하고 그 승려는 집회의 무대에서 군중에게 말했다.

"Don't assume that you are a respectable person because of your position. For us, you are a whore." "당신이 당신의 자리 때문에 존경 받는 사람이라고 생각하지 마시오. 우리한테는 당신은 창녀일뿐이오."

In his statement, Mr Zeid said instead of focussing on people, leaders should address the substance of the concerns raised by the special envoy.

On Wednesday, Myanmar's government said it was investigating the speech. 수요일, 미안마 정부는 이 연설을 조사하는 중이라고 말했다.

The BBC's Jonah Fisher in Yangon said monks are a powerful political lobby in Myanmar.

With a general election this year the question now is which leaders will speak up and risk Wirathu and the monks turning on them, he adds.

** 밝은 하늘의 소감 ** 

난 이런 승려는 승려처럼 안 본다. 껍데기만 승려이지, 내면은 보통 사람보다도 못한 우쭐함과 남성우위적 사고를 견지하고 있다.

즉 기본적인 인간에 대한 이해와 예의 자체가 없는 인간이다. 사람이 다 사람은 아닌 것이다. 말이나 행동이 사람답지 않은데

어찌 사람이라 할 수 있겠는가?
