El musulmán que intenta convencer a los obispos de Pakistán para que promuevan la beatificación de un niño cristiano

«Iqbal Masih no fue solo un luchador por la libertad. Fue un mártir». Esto es lo que Ehsan Ullah Khan está empeñado en lograr que la Iglesia católica reconozca. En recuerdo de este niño católico asesinado en 1995 se conmemora cada 16 de abril el Día Internacional contra la Esclavitud Infantil.

Ehsan Ullah Khan no era consciente hasta qué punto cambiaría su vida cuando liberó en Lahore a un muchacho católico de 9 años, que desde los 4 trabajaba como esclavo en un taller de alfombras. El niño, para el que llegaría a convertirse en un padre, desarrolló pronto unas dotes oratorias extraordinarias y se convirtió en un símbolo de la lucha contra la esclavitud, que en Pakistán afecta en gran medida a cristianos, buena parte de ellos procedentes de las castas más bajas o de las áreas tribales que abrazaron el cristianismo durante el dominio británico.

Periodista de profesión, Ehsan Ullah Khan calcula haber liberado a «puede que un millón de cristianos», la mayoría iletrados, muchos siquiera sin bautizar, privados de todo derecho mientras no salden unas deudas diseñadas de tal modo que van aumentando con los intereses y nunca van a poder pagar. Gracias a estos cristianos, Ullah Khan, un ferviente musulmán, descubrió la Biblia, en particular el libro del Éxodo y la historia de Moisés, donde encontró inspiración para su lucha contra los trabajos forzados. Pero también se convirtió en un incómodo testigo de una realidad que, hasta que él inició su actividad pública, en 1967, la sociedad paquistaní prefería no conocer.

Tras el asesinato de Iqbal Masih en 1995, a los 12 años, al hostigamiento del gobierno contra su mentor, se unió el de grupos extremistas, que no toleraron la imagen de Ehsan besando el cuerpo sin vida del niño. Desde entonces, vive exiliado en Suecia, y su Frente de Liberación del Trabajo Forzado pasó a incluir la palabra Global, ampliando su área de actuación a otras zonas conflictivas, como Bangladés o China.

Estos días visita varias ciudades España para, de la mano de Encuentro y Solidaridad, denunciar la explotación laboral en la industria textil. La gira incluyó una charla el 24 de mayo en el Salón de Actos de Alfa y Omega. También un encuentro con el obispo de Vitoria, Juan Carlos Elizalde, responsable en la Conferencia Episcopal de Infancia y Juventud en Riesgo.

Activista contra la explotación en la industria textil

En su conferencia Ullah Khan denunció por ejemplo que, de cada 14 dólares que cuesta una camiseta en Canadá, el trabajador en Bangladés obtiene solo 12 céntimos. Y mostró fotografías de tiendas de Barcelona que venden a unos 110 euros pantalones vaqueros artificialmente envejecidos con técnicas –aseguró– que destrozan las manos de muchos niños, que trabajan sin ninguna protección.

Ninguna multinacional del textil se libra de sus dardos, entre ellas varias conocidas marcas españolas, como Zara, Mango o El Corte Inglés. Además de denunciar prácticas que vulneran los derechos humanos, el fundador del Frente de Liberación apela a la conciencia del consumidor, pidiéndole en primer lugar que se informe de la procedencia de la ropa («hoy existe abundante información; el desconocimiento ya no es una excusa», dice) y también un comportamiento más sobrio, puesto que el motor de esta explotación es el consumismo desenfrenado. «El 65 % de las prendas producidas cada año van año a la basura, pese a que el 48 % serían perfectamente utilizables», lo cual no solo genera «un gran impacto ecológico», sino que es el motor de «una industria que explota a las personas para conseguir precios cada vez más baratos», advierte.

«Mi hijo llevaba la cruz de Jesús»

Iqbal Masih sigue siendo un símbolo en esa lucha. El 16 de abril, día de su asesinato, se conmemora como el Día Internacional contra la Esclavitud Infantil.

Con Iqbal Masih, poco antes del asesinato del niño

Sin embargo, Ehsan Ullah Khan cada vez tiene más claro que la fe fue un importante motor en la acción del niño. «Mi hijo estaba llevando la cruz de Jesús», dijo la madre de Iqbal tras su muerte. Y esta frase, a la que en un principio no prestó excesiva atención, volvió con fuerza a su mente, especialmente después de que, en julio de 2017, el Papa reconociera una nueva forma de martirio por amor a los demás.

De ello ha hablado ya con varios obispos, y en las próximas semanas –adelanta– tiene prevista alguna «reunión importante», si bien hasta ahora reconoce ha encontrado más eco fuera que dentro de Pakistán, donde el asesinato de niños cristianos está a la orden del día.

«Iqbal Masih no fue solo un luchador por la libertad. Fue un mártir», insiste él. Eso implica que para la beatificación no es necesario el reconocimiento de un milagro atribuido a su intercesión. «Pero si quieren uno –añade–, ¿no lo es que se conmemore a nivel mundial cada 16 de abril la muerte de Iqbal Masih, un pobre chico católico de Pakistán?».

  112. One thing I’ve noticed is the fact that there are plenty of common myths regarding the financial institutions intentions if talking about property foreclosure. One fairy tale in particular is the fact the bank needs to have your house. The lender wants your hard earned cash, not your home. They want the money they loaned you together with interest. Keeping away from the bank is only going to draw any foreclosed realization. Thanks for your posting.

  133. One thing I would really like to say is always that before getting more laptop memory, look at the machine in which it could be installed. If the machine is usually running Windows XP, for instance, the particular memory ceiling is 3.25GB. Applying in excess of this would purely constitute a new waste. Make sure one’s motherboard can handle an upgrade quantity, as well. Great blog post.

Visiting these amazing places absolutely requires a video camera that can meet the wild’s severe conditions.

  198. I have come across that currently, more and more people are increasingly being attracted to video cameras and the discipline of picture taking. However, being photographer, it’s important to first shell out so much of your time deciding the model of photographic camera to buy as well as moving via store to store just so you could buy the least expensive camera of the brand you have decided to settle on. But it will not end generally there. You also have to contemplate whether you should obtain a digital photographic camera extended warranty. Thanks a bunch for the good points I received from your blog.

  278. It is my belief that mesothelioma is actually the most lethal cancer. It has unusual characteristics. The more I look at it the more I am certain it does not act like a real solid cells cancer. In case mesothelioma is actually a rogue virus-like infection, in that case there is the chance for developing a vaccine and offering vaccination for asbestos open people who are really at high risk associated with developing foreseeable future asbestos associated malignancies. Thanks for expressing your ideas about this important health issue.

  295. Thanks for the thoughts you have provided here. On top of that, I believe there are many factors that will keep your car insurance policy premium all the way down. One is, to contemplate buying cars and trucks that are from the good list of car insurance firms. Cars that are expensive tend to be at risk of being lost. Aside from that insurance coverage is also in accordance with the value of the car, so the more costly it is, then higher the particular premium you have to pay.

  305. Thanks for your post. I would also love to say that the health insurance agent also works best for the benefit of the particular coordinators of your group insurance coverage. The health insurance agent is given a long list of benefits searched for by a person or a group coordinator. Exactly what a broker does is search for individuals as well as coordinators which usually best match up those needs. Then he provides his referrals and if all parties agree, this broker formulates legal contract between the two parties.

  309. I should say also believe that mesothelioma is a exceptional form of cancers that is commonly found in those previously exposed to asbestos. Cancerous cellular material form from the mesothelium, which is a protecting lining that covers almost all of the body’s body organs. These cells commonly form inside the lining of your lungs, abdomen, or the sac which encircles one’s heart. Thanks for revealing your ideas.

  338. Great article. It is quite unfortunate that over the last years, the travel industry has had to tackle terrorism, SARS, tsunamis, influenza, swine flu, as well as first ever true global tough economy. Through it the industry has proven to be solid, resilient as well as dynamic, locating new approaches to deal with adversity. There are generally fresh complications and opportunities to which the field must yet again adapt and act in response.

  361. 1. Highlights of these changes include: The term “agency” refers to the relationship that you, as a buyer or seller, have with your real estate agent. Dual agencies can occur with two agents or with a single agent. The chart below illustrates the differences between the two types of agency. The limited transaction broker relationship offers only limited confidentiality and no obedience or full disclosure. (See section below titled Full Disclosure for more information). Many home buyers and sellers would be shocked to find out what their Realtor might say they can’t disclose when their feet are put to the fire, often too late in a transaction to rectify the situation. The second form of a dual agency relationship is when two agents from the same real estate brokerage each represent a buyer or seller. This is an acceptable form of dual agency that happens in a significant amount of real estate transactions daily with no problems. Each consumer has different agents who are fighting hard for the best deal possible. https://forum.cloutodo.com/community/profile/npcelton3447124/ Included below are all no HOA homes for sale in Boca Raton, FL.
