1Bhutan: Monk Becomes The First Victim Of The Tobacco ActBhutan: Ny Pretra no nanjary nidiran'andro voalohany noho ny Didy mandrara ny fihinana paraky
2Depending on which way you look at it, the first violator or victim of Bhutan's Tobacco Act that came to effect in January 2011, was a Buddhist monk who was arrested end of January while trying to enter the country with 72 packets of Baba, chewing tobacco from India.Miankina amin'ny fomba fijerinao azy ihany izy ity, pretra Bodista izay nosamborina tamin'ny faran'ny volana Janoary raha iny izy niditra ny firenena iny niaraka taminà fonosana Baba miisa 72, no sady paraky fihinanana avy any Inde no mpandika lalàna voalohany na ny nidiran'andro voalohany noho ny Didy mikasika ny Paraky any Bhutan izay tenananan-kery nanomboka ny volana Janoary 2011.

6@business_bhutan PM says FB page against Tobacco Act inspired by Tunisia, Egypt & Libya and is not good. “Am I a tyrant,” he askedNanomboka hatreo, dia notanana tsy nisy didy i Sonam Tshering (23) mandra-pahazoany ny didim-pitsarana nanagadra azy mandritra ny telo taona tamin'ny 2 Martsa.
7It seems far-fetched that the Prime Minister would compare this to events in the Middle East for, aside from the few Bhutanese who feel strongly about how out-of-line the government has stepped, there is hardly any outrage.Nanaraka akaiky ity tranga ity ny haino aman-jery Bhutanese, ary anisan'izany ny mpitoraka bilaogy. Pejy Facebook iray mitondra ny lohateny hoe”Avaozy ny Lalàna mifehy ny Paraky” ihany koa no natsangana hanoherana ity Didy ity.
8The Facebook page has less than 300 members, other than that while few have called for protests, a majority of the Bhutanese feel otherwise.Nolazaina fa nilaza ny Praiministra hoe niainga avy amin'ny zava-niseho tany Tonizia sy Ejipta ity pejy ity. @business_bhutan
9After all, while the Bhutanese consider the Act to be overreaching, they are also aware of how good they have it in many other respects.Milaza ny PM fa tsy tsara ilay pejy FB manohitra ny Lalàna mifehy ny Paraky nalaina tahaka avy amin'i Tonizia, Ezypta & Libya. “Mpampijaly olona ve ny tenako,” hoy izy nanontany
10Toa hita taratra ihany fa mampitaha izany amin'ny zava-niseho tany Afovoany Atsinanana ny Praiministra, raha ampitoviana amin'ny Bhutanese vitsy izay tena mahatsapa mafy ny dingana izay nataon'ny governemanta ho azy ireo, tena zara raha misy ny fanafintohinana.
11And so while this is a far cry from the events in Tunisia or Egypt, in this age of social media and technology government officials certainly shouldn't underestimate the power of the voice of the common mass and this new technology.Latsaky ny 300 ny mpikambana ao amin'ilay pejy Facebook, hafa noho izany fony nisy ny niantso hanao fanoherana, maro amin'ireo Bhutanese no manana fijery mifanohitra amin'izany. Na izany na tsy izany, raha noraisin'ireo Bhutanese ho tafahoatra loatra ilay Didy, dia tsapan'izy ireo ihany kosa fa mba nisy zavatra tsara azon'izy ireo avy amin'io fa amin'ny endriny hafa.
12Etsy andanin'izany, raha lavitra ny hiaka farany amin'ny zava-nitranga tany Tonizia sy Ejipta izy ity, dia tsy tokony hanamaivana ny herin'ny feon'ny vahoaka sy ity teknolojia vaovao ity kosa ny manam-pahefana eo amin'ny governemanta amin'izao vanim-potoan'ny haino aman-jery sosialy sy ny teknolojia izao.
13The recent ruling by the Supreme Court on Bhutan's first Constitutional case, which was in favor of the 2 member opposition against the present government proved to the people the justice system's integrity.Ny didy fanapahana navoakan'ny Fitsarana Ambony tsy ela akory izay, momba ny tranga voalohany amin'ny Lalampanorenana ao Bhutan, izay nanome rariny mpikambana 2 avy amin'ny mpanohitra manohitra ny governemanta ankehitriny dia nanaporofo tamin'ny vahoaka ny fahafenoan'ny rafi-pitsarana.
14However, there are many other verdicts/rulings - as a result of the laws- which the people are not happy with.Na izany aza, betsaka ny fanapahana/didy - avy amin'ny lalàna - no tsy mahafaly ny olona.
15Some of them being harsh sentences like 3 years imprisonment for minor infractions like proselytizing and misunderstanding or defying the tobacco act.Ny sasany amin'izany dia sazy mafy tahaka ny fampidirana 3 taona an-tranomaizina ho an'ny fandikan-dalàna maivana toy ny disadisa na tsy fifankahazoan-kevitra na ny fandikana ny didy momba ny zava-mahadomelina.
16A member of Parliament has also submitted a petition to study complaints by people about delayed service delivery by the Judiciary.Namoaka fanangonan-tsonia ihany koa ny mpikambana iray ao amin'ny Parlemanta handalinana ny fitarainan'ny vahoaka mikasika ny fahataràn'ny raharaham-pitsaràna.
17In one of the most high profile cases which was sent to the courts in 2007, involving a member of the Royal family who tried to acquire land through a government official, all were acquitted of any wrongdoing in September last year.Ao ami'ny iray amin'ireo karazana tranga fahita be indrindra nalefa tany amin'ny fitsarana tamin'ny taona 2007, momba ny mpikambana iray tao amin'ny fianakavian'ny mpanjaka izay nitetiky ny haka tany tamin'ny alalan'ny manam-pahefana ao amin'ny governemanta, afa-keloka daholo izy rehetra tamin'ny volana Septambra tamin'ny taon-dasa.
18However, the case is back in court after an anonymous letter was sent to the Anti-Corruption Commission which was set up by the Fourth King of Bhutan to stem such corruption.Na izany aza, niverina teny amin'ny Tribonaly ny raharaha taorian'ny nandefasana taratasy tsy fanta-piaviana teny amin'ny Komity misahana ny ady amin'ny kolikoly izay natsangan'ny Mpanjaka fahaefatra any Bhutan hanajanonana ny kolikoly toy ireo.
19People are waiting to see how the Justice system will handle this.Miandry daholo ny olona rehetra amin'izay hitondran'ny Fitsarana azy ity.
20And so with a free press, nothing short of this - people venting their feelings and opinions- should be expected.Ary indrindra amin'izao andron'ny fahalalahan'ny asa fanaovan-gazety izao, dia andrasana tokoa ny zavatra toy izao - fanehoan'ny olona ny fihetseham-pony sy ny heviny.
21One member of Parliament, Sangay Khandu, poignantly wrote on his blog:Nanoratra amin'alahelo eo amin'ny bilaoginy ny mpikambana iray ao amin'ny Parlemanta, Sangay Khandu:
22It's very unfortunate Sonam Tshering became the first Bhutanese to be arrested for smuggling tobacco since the enactment of the Tobacco Control Act. As a law-maker, I empathize with his predicament.Tena mampalahelo fa i Sonam Tshering no Bhutanese voalohany nogadraina noho ny fihinana paraky nanomboka tamin'ny fampiharana ny Didy Fanaraha-maso ny Paraky. Amin'ny mahampanao lalàna ahy, dia mampalahelo ahy ny zavatra mahazo azy.
23It is very important I mention this because law-makers are after all….undeniably Bhutanese living in the same community with family, relatives and friends, governed by the same laws…. I do not necessarily agree with the “ban” or “the penalty” but I believe if it is a matter that needs to be re-discussed then it shall be, keeping legislative processes in mind.Zava-dehibe ny ilazàko izany satria tsy azo lavina mihitsy fa ireo mpanao lalàna rehetra dia… Buthanese miaina ao anatin'io fiaraha-monina io miaraka amin'ny fianakaviana, tapaka sy namana, ary samy fehezin'ny lalàna mitovy… Tsy voatery hanohana ny hevitra hoe “ahilika” na “saziana” aho fa mino aho fa raha lohahevitra mila averina resahina indray izy ity dia tokony horesahina, ary heverina foana ny fizotran'ny lalàna.
24I value people's freedom of expression without a doubtTena manome lanja ny fahalalahana maneho hevitra tsy amin'ahiahy aho.
25Meanwhile, the few outraged Bhutanese hope the government will amend the act. Blogger Jurmi Chhowing who has been posting daily pictures of himself lighting up a cigarette on Facebook said:Etsy andanin'izany, manantena ireo Bhutanese vitsivitsy tezitra fa hanafoana ny didy ny governemanta. Nilaza ny mpitoraka bilaogy Jurmi Chhowing izay namoaka isan'andro ny sariny mandrehitra sigara eo amin'ny Facebook hoe:
26Sad Tidings: Verdict Out: Sonam Tshering Sentenced To Three Years (as i understand it..).Vaovao mamplaelo: Nivoaka ny didy: Migadra mandritra ny telo taona i Sonam Tshering (raha ny fahazoako azy..).
27The Scapegoat Gets The Slaughter.Misolo vaika ny akalana ny tenany.
28He even wrote a letter to the monk asking him to treat the sentence as the three year meditation retreat that most Buddhist practitioners aspire to.Na izy aza nanoratra taratasy tany amin'ny pretra nangataka ny hanaovana ny sazy ho telo taona fisintahana fandinihan-tena izay fanirian'ny mpino Bodista.
29Manju Wakhley replied:Namaly i Manju Wakhley:
30We are building a hypocritic nation- we care more for our international brand than for our own people.Manangana fanjakana mpihatsaravelatsihy isika - ny endritsika manoloana an'izao tontolo izao no mbola karakaraintsika noho ny vahoaka. Firaisam-po amin'ny olombelona rehetra- marina e?
31Compassion for all beings- really?Ny fitiavan-tena no ambony noho ny firaisan-kina.
32Ego overtakes compassion.Mampalahelo izany, tena mampalaelo.
33It is sad, very very sad. While many have been complaining about misplaced emphasis on smoking as a killer over alcohol, which claims over 50% of lives at the hospital in Thimphu.Betsaka no mitaraina mikasika ny fanomezan-danja tsy araka ny tokony ho izy ny fifohana sigara raha oharina amin'ny famonoana olona noho ny alikaola, izay tafakatra maherin'ny 50 isanjaton'ny olona any amin'ny hopitalin'i Thimphu.
34Kinga Sithup pointed out another cause of high death rates:Nilaza antony hafa mikasika ny maha avo ny tahan'ny fahafatesana i Kinga Sithup :
35bad roads took more lives than smoking…Ny lalana ratsy no mahafaty kokoa ny olona noho ny fifohana sigara …
36But amidst all of them were some like Kelzang Wangchuk who thought otherwise:Fa ao anatin'izany rehetra izany, ny sasany toa an'i Kelzang Wangchuk dia manana hevitra hafa mihitsy:
37Bumthang, the second Zangdopelri on earth, burnt twice because people started smoking in the beautiful valley!!Bumthang, Zangdopelri latsaka an-tany, may indroa satria nanomboka nifoka sigara ny olona tao amin'ny lemaka mahafinaritra!!
38Anyone who has smoked a cigarrette in Bumthang valley is requested to donate generously to the Fire Kidu fundraising…smoke responsibly!!Tsy maintsy mandoa vola ho an'ny fanangonam-bola Fire Kidu izay rehetra mifoka sigara ao amin'ny lemak'i Bumthang … vokatry ny fifohana sigara!!
39It is true that fires caused some of the biggest destruction in Bhutan.Marina mihitsy hoe anisan'ny niteraka ny fanimbana goavana indrindra ny afo tany Bhutan.
40But does this justify such a law, the idea of which it seems originated in Bumthang, when most of the fires were caused by butter lamps and faulty wiring/short circuits more than cigarettes.Nefa dia manamarina ny lalàna nampiharina ve izany, ny hevitra nitondrana azy izay toa avy any Bumthang, anefa ny ankamaroan'ny afo dia avy amin'ny lampin-tsolika sy avy amin'ny tsy fihetezan'ny tariby mitondra herin-aratra/na afo ateraky ny fahatapahan'ny tariby mitondra herin'aratra noho ny sigara.
41The recent Bajo fire is an example and the investigation into the Bumthang fire revealed that it may have been candles which caused it.Ohatra iray vao haingana izao i Bajo fire ary nilaza ny fanadihadiana natao mikasika ny afo any Bumthang fa mety ho ny labozia no nahatonga izany.
42Recently a second violator has been caught but according to blogger Passang Tshering:Vao haingana ihany koa no nahatratrarana ny mpandika lalàna faharoa raha ny filazan'ny mpitoraka bilaogy Passang Tshering:
43My village is populated with smokers and Tobacco chewers and sniffers… and looks like the law is kept as it is Whole my village is gonna be behind the jail… Look what I wrote last year…Olona mpifoka sigara sy Mpihinam-paraky ary mpidoroka no ao amin'ny tanànako … ary raha ny lalàna dia sahala amin'ny hoe ny tanànako iray manontolo mihitsy no ho tanana am-ponja… Jereo inona no nosoratako tamin'ny herintaona…
44And a young filmmaker Dechen Roder wrote:Ary nanoratra Dechen Roder, mpanao sarimihetsika tanora iray hoe
45when everyone on this page knows that they'll never be checked for ciggarettes nor chewing tobacco, its elitist.Rehefa mahalala daholo ny olon-drehetra eto amin'ity pejy ity fa tsy ho tratra mihitsy izy ireo amin'ny fifohana sigara sy fihinana paraky, dia izay no lafatra.
46I recently came on druk air, and saw certain VIP who had been smoking in the airport lounge with me earlier breeze right through customs… if we're going to be vigilant about following laws, it should affect all of us…. its a law that has been designed to push a certain class (the majority) down.. and my main fear is that the ones who made the law, actually also realize they've messed up, but they'd rather let it go, instead of admit being wrong.Nandeha vao haingana tamin'ny toeram-bahoaka aho ary nahita olo-manan-kaja nifoka sigara teo amin'ny lalan-tsaran'ny seranam-piaramanidina niaraka tamiko izay tena namofona nanerana ny toerana… raha te ho sarotiny amin'ny fanarahan-dalàna isika dia tokony hahakasika ny rehetra izany …. satria izy io lalàna izay natao hanosehana ho ambany kokoa ny sokajim-piaraha-monina sasany (ny sarambabem-bahoaka).. ary ny tena atahorako dia ny hoe ireo izay nanao ny lalàna, dia hahita ihany koa fa nanakorontana amin'izao fotoana izao, nefa dia aleo andeha amin'izao ihany, toy izay hiaiky fa tsy nety ny nataony.
47One young woman, Cee Dee Jamtsho, even went out of her way to visit the young monk:Nandeha mihitsy aza moa ny vehivavy tanora iray Cee Dee Jamtsho, nitsidika ny pretra tanora :
48Today i made a point to go and meet Sonam Tshering….he was so pleased to see me though I was a stranger to him.Nanao fotoana aho androany hihaonana amin'i Sonam Tshering….tena faly izy nahita ahy na dia vahiny taminy aza aho.
49As i began to talk to him…his eyes were filled with tears and so were mine…to see him handcuffed like an serious criminal was too much… he shared with me that he was not aware of the law and by the time he could know. he was locked up…he looked frightened and sad……many people are going to be caught and put behind… its time that the government should do sumthing before too late to react….Raha nanomboka niresaka taminy aho … dia nanganohano ny masony sy ny masoko ihany koa … mafy loatra ny nahita azy nifatotra rojovy sahala amin'ireo olona nahavita heloka be vava… nolazainy tamiko fa tsy fantany mihitsy ny lalàna ary nanomboka tamin'izay vao fantany. Nogadraina izy … sahala amin'ny matahotra sy malahelo izy……olona maro no nosamborina ary nohidina any an-tranomaizina… fotoana izao ho an'ny governemanta ny hanaovana hetsika dieny mbola tsy dia tara loatra….
50She even met with the father of the incarcerated and translated what he had to say.Nihaona tamin'ny rain'ny gadra mihitsy aza izy ary nandika ny ny zavatra tiany holazaina.
51And it was Kencho Namgyal who summed it best when he said:Dia i Kencho Namgyal no namehy azy tsara indrindra raha nilaza izy hoe:
52[The] Tobacco control act is a great tool to criminalize otherwise law abiding citizens.Fitaovana lehibe hiampangana ny olona manàra-dalàna [ny] lalàna fanaraha-maso ny Paraky.
