1 | Anti-Hate Rally Attempts to Tackle Emerging Racism in Sri Lanka | Fivoriana Manohitra Ny Fankahalàna Hanosehana ny Fanavakavaham-Bolonkoditra Mihamanjaka ao Sri Lanka |
2 | Anti-hate activists in Sri Lanka plan to gather in the capital city of Colombo on the 28th of April. | Miomana ny hivory ao an-drenivohitra Colombo ny andron'ny 28 avrily ny mpikatroka manohitra ny fankahalana. |
3 | The country has recently seen a spate of isolated violent attacks and broad-based hate rhetoric against minorities. | Niaina fanafihana maherisetra misingatsingana sy kabary fankahalàna vondron'olona vitsy an'isa ny firenena tao ho ao. |
4 | This rally comes just two weeks after a peaceful candlelight vigil by citizens standing outside the Bodu Bala Sena (or Buddhist Strength Force, aka BBS) offices in Colombo was disrupted by the BBS and the Sri Lanka Police (see Global Voices report). | Tonga roa herinandro monja taorian'ny fiaretan-tory amin-dabozia nataon'ireo olona nijoro teo ivelan'ny biraon'ny Bodu Bala Sena (na Herin'ny Tanjaky ny Bodista, antsoina hoe BBS) tao Colombo izay noravan'ny BBS sy ny polisin'ny Sri Lanka (jereo ny Tatitra Global Voices [mg]) ity fihetsiketsehana ity. |
5 | The candlelight vigil, organized by a group known as Buddhists Questioning Bodu Bala Sena was the first public protest organized to decry what many view as a protracted campaign of hate speech by the BBS against minority groups in the country. | Ny fiareta-tory arahin-dabozia, izay nomanin'ny vondrona fantatra amin'ny anarana hoe Buddhists Questioning Bodu Bala Sena (Bodista mandà ny Bodu Bala Sena) no fihetsiketsehana voalohany ho fanoherana ny zavatra kianin'ny maro ho kabarim-pankahalàna ataon'ny BBS amin'ireo vondron'olona vitsy an'isa ao amin'ny firenena. |
6 | Blogger Indrajit Samaraiva attributes the politics of the BBS to more complex dynamics within the Sinhala Buddhist community as well. | Ny bilaogera Indrajit Samaraiva mametraka ny politikan'ny BBS ho mbola sarotra takatra an-tsaina tahaka ny ao amin'ny vondro-piaraha-monina Bodista Sinhala ihany. |
7 | Dr. Vinoth Ramachandra speculates that the activities of BBS are tactics of distraction from other problems plaguing the island nation. | Ny Dr. Vinoth Ramachandra indray manombana fa misy paikady hanodinana ny sain'ny olona tsy hijerena ny olana mitranga ao amin'ny nosy no ataon'ny BBS. |
8 | Having started by protesting against the Halal certificate, the BBS moved on to criticize the Islamic dress codes for women, reported veteran journalist and blogger D.B.S Jeyaraj. | Taorian'ny nanoherany ny diplaoma Halal, nifindra toerana tamin'ny fitsikerana ny fomba fiakanjo Islamika ho an'ny vehivavy ny BBS, hoy ny tatitra nataon'ny mpanao gazety efa za-draharaha sady bilaogera D.B.S Jeyaraj. |
9 | Many isolated incidents were subsequently reported from across the country of attacks prompted by BBS hate speech. | Maro ny tranga-panafihana misingatsingana nanerana ny firenena noho ny kabarim-pankahalana ataon'ny BBS. |
10 | Though the BBS has been the most vocal of these ultra right nationalistic organizations, the latest spate of Islamophobia and anti minority rhetoric in Sri Lanka started before its emergence into the limelight with the attack on a Muslim shrine in the city of Anuradhapura, followed by an attack on a much larger mosque in Dambulla. | Na dia ny BBS aza no fikambanana nasionalista (mpitandro ny fiandrianam-pirenena) amin'ny elatra farany ankavanana be tabataba indrindra, ny firohotanam-mpankahalàna Islam sy vondron'olona vitsy an'isa tao Sri Lanka dia niandoha nialoha ny fisongadinan'ity vondrona ity tamin'ny gazety tamin'ny alalan'ny fanafihana ny toerana masina miozolomana tao Anuradhapura, narahin'ny fanafihana Moske lehibebe kokoa tao Dambulla. |
11 | Churches have not been spared either, and some Buddhist temples that do not agree with the specific ideology of these extremist groups have also fallen prey to attacks. | Tsy afa-bela ihany koa ny fiangonana, ary tratran'ny fanafihana ihany koa ny tempoly Bodista izay tsy miombon-kevitra amin'ireo mahery fihetsika ireo. |
12 | Muslim owned businesses have been a special area of focus for hate groups; one was recently attacked in Colombo, with monks featuring prominently in the mob that did the deed. The BBS has also carried out numerous illegal raids with apparent police support, the most notorious of which was a raid on an abattoir in Colombo carried out under the unfounded claim that animals were being slaughtered there against city regulations. | Ny fandraharahàna tantanin'ny miozolomana no lasibatra manokan'ireo vondrona mpankahala ireo; ny iray haingana indrindra izao dia tao Colombo, nahitana moanina lohalaharana tao amin'ireo vondron'olona nanafika. maromaro ihany koa ny hetraketraka nataon'ny BBS izay toa nahazo ny fanohanan'ny polisy, ny malaza indrindra tamin'izany dia ny nanafihana ny toeram-pamonoan'omby iray tao Colombonoho ny tsaho tsy nisy fanamarinana fa novonoina tsy mifanaraka amin'ny lalàna mihatra ao an-tanàna ny biby vonoina ao. |
13 | Since of late, there has been a gathering force of anti hate sentiment to counter hate speech, especially apparent in Sri Lanka's social media sphere. | Vao faramparany tao izany no nisy ny famondronan-kery ireo mpanohitra ny kabarim-pankahalàna, indrindra tao amin'ny tontolon'ny tambajotra sosialin'i Sri Lanka. |
14 | Movements like the Buddhists Questioning Bodu Bala Sena, Love not Hate and this petition have been trying to create momentum to overcome it. | Miezaka ny manao izay hampalaza azy ny hetsika tahaka ny Buddhists Questioning Bodu Bala Sena (Bodista mandà ny Bodu Bala Sena), Love not Hate (Mitia fa tsy mankahala) ary ity fanangona-tsonia iray ity mba handabohana izany. |
15 | Still raw after 30 years of civil war, Sri Lanka's public sentiment in some areas needs no prompting to associate racial discrimination to potential violence on a grand scale. | Mbola mafanan'ny ady an-trano 30 taona ny fahatsapana ankapoben'ny olona ao Sri Lanka any amin'ny faritra sasany ka mora mampifandray ny fanavakavahana ara-poko amin'ny herisetra goavana mety hitranga. |
16 | A Facebook event to propagate the “Rally For Unity” has got good response. | Toa valin-kafatra tsara nisongadina ny hetsika Facebook mampiely ny “Mivondròna ho amin'ny Firaisana”. |
17 | Fazly Mowjood has this resolve: | Nandray ity fanapaha-kevitra ity i Fazly Mowjood |
18 | if the racist groups are not going to stop spreading racism in the country then we Srilankans are going to stop it for them & this coming Sunday is going to be only the beginning, there will be more to come until the last racist group in Sri Lanka is SILENTLY STOPPED!!! | if the racist groups are not going to stop spreading racism in the country then we Srilankans are going to stop it for them & this coming Sunday is going to be only the beginning, there will be more to come until the last racist group in Sri Lanka is SILENTLY STOPPED!!! |
19 | | Raha mbola tsy mitsahatra ny mampiely ny fankahalana eto amin'ity firenena ity ny vondrom-pankahalàna dia izahay Sri-Lankey no hanakana azy ary ny alahady no hanombohanay azy, hisy ny hetsika maro hafa hotontosaina mandra-PAHANGINAN'NY vondrona mpankahala. |
20 | The volunteers who are arranging the protests pooled in some pocket money and bought materials to create these posters: | Tsy maintsy niala vola avy any amin'ny poketrany ihany ny mpanolo-tena nanomana izany hetsi-panoherana izany tamin'ny fifidianana fitaovana hananganana ireto afisy ireto: |

23 | Sunday's rally appears targeted at decrying hate speech in a more generic sense, and does not appear to target any group in particular, a key difference from the candlelit vigil. | Ny Hetsiky ny alahady dia mikendry ny hanamelohana ny kabarim-pankahalàna amin'ny ankapobeny fa tsy mikendry vondron'olona iray manokana, zavatra iray lehibe manavaka azy tamin'ny fiareta-tory arahin-dabozia. |
24 | Increasing support from politicians like former SL cricket captain Arjuna Ranatunga and actor turned politician Ranjan Ramanayake is also an encouraging sign of the gathering momentum of the anti hate movement in the Sri Lankan mainstream. | Mamelombelona ny hetsiky ny fanoherana ny fankahalàna ihany koa ny fahazoana fanohanana avy amin'ny mpanao politika tahaka ny kapitenin'ny mpilalao cricket teo aloha Arjuna Ranatunga sy ilay mpiantsehatra lasa mpanao politika Ranjan Ramanayake. |
