We religious leaders within the « Religious Movement » in Madagascar strongly condemn the violence committed to the Malagasy people, particularly to us. We were trying to hold an open air worship service on May 20th but the military force led by colonel Richard Ravalomanana shot to the crowd. One of our fellow pastor was shot dead and another one brutalised, beaten, humiliated, wounded, and arrested by the military force and then put into pre-trial detention. He suffers from his wounds and has not yet received any appropriate medical care since his detention on May 21st. Human rights are continuously violated.
Eight of us are still now hiding for the facto government is prepared to arrest us. We are very much concerned about our families, our congregations.
Therefore we ask support from the international community and other human right organisations. We ask all of you to put pressure upon this facto government to put an end violence, threat, and arrest, that they release pastor Valisoa Rafanonerantsoa and other political prisoners.
