Presiden Sri Lanka Ampuni Biksu Buddha Penghasut Kekerasan Anti Islam
Jakarta - Presiden Sri Lanka Maithripala Sirisena memberikan pengampunan kepada biksu Buddha garis keras Galagoda Aththe Gnanasara. Biksu itu ditangkap dan dipenjara atas tuduhan menghasut kekerasan anti-Muslim dan menghina pengadilan.
Kantor presiden tidak memberikan alasan pemberian ampunan tersebut. Keputusan itu dikecam kelompok think-tank keamanan Sri Lanka sebagai pukulan terhadap "aturan hukum yang sudah rusak" di negara tersebut.
Galagoda Aththe Gnanasara adalah pemimpin kelompok Buddha garis keras Bodu Bala Sena (BBS) atau "Pasukan Kekuatan Buddha". Ampunan diberikan seminggu setelah kelompok-kelompok Buddha menyerang rumah, masjid dan toko-toko milik komunitas Muslim sebagai pembalasan atas pengeboman pada Minggu Paskah oleh oleh kelompok militan Islam yang menewaskan lebih dari 250 orang.
Satu orang tewas dalam kerusuhan anti-Muslim baru-baru ini di Sri Lanka. Kerusuhan itu memicu pemerintah memberlakukan jam malam di seluruh negeri.
Para menteri pemerintah dan para pemimpin Muslim secara terbuka menuduh Gnanasara telah mengobarkan kekerasan terhadap Muslim dan Kristen sebelum akhirnya dia dipenjara. Namun, biksu itu menolak tuduhan tersebut.
Kepala eksekutif BBS, Dilantha Vithanage, mengaku telah diberi tahu bahwa presiden telah mengampuni Gnanasara.
"Dia tidak akan dibebaskan hari ini karena dokumennya belum selesai," kata Vithanage kepada kantor berita Reuters, yang dilansir Kamis (23/5/2019).
Seorang pejabat Kementerian Kehakiman mengatakan kepada Reuters mengatakan, "Kantor presiden telah mengirim dokumen yang relevan untuk mengampuni biksu Gnanasara ke kementerian."
Seorang juru bicara otoritas penjara belum bisa dihubungi untuk dimintai komentar.
Para biksu Buddah telah mendesak pembebasan Gnanasara. Para biksu itu memiliki pengaruh kuat dalam politik Sri Lanka.
"Sebuah pukulan besar terhadap aturan hukum Sri Lanka yang sudah babak belur, mengirimkan pesan yang salah setelah serangan (Minggu) Paskah," kata Alan Keenan, direktur proyek Sri Lanka di International Crisis Group, di Twitter.
"Sri Lanka yang damai menuntut semua komunitas untuk merasa aman dan setara. Mengampuni Gnanasara dengan impunitas Muslim, Kristen Evangelis dan Tamil adalah permainan yang adil," ujarnya.
Gnanasara pernah dijatuhi hukuman enam tahun penjara pada Agustus karena insiden 2016 ketika dia menghina sidang pengadilan terkait kasus penculikan seorang jurnalis di mana pejabat intelijen militer sebagai pihak yang dituduh.
Gnanasara juga dijatuhi hukuman dalam kasus terpisah pada Juni karena mengancam istri jurnalis tersebut.
Sejak 2014, biksu itu telah menghadapi tuduhan dalam kasus-kasus tentang kekerasan anti-Muslim, termasuk pidato kebencian dan menista Alquran.
Tahun itu, Gnanasara menandatangani perjanjian dengan Ashin Wirathu dari Myanmar—yang dijuluki sebagai "Bin Laden-nya Myanmar"—dalam apa yang disebut keduanya sebagai upaya untuk melawan konversi regional oleh umat Islam.

Lankan President pardons jailed monk who warned about Jehadist extremism
sumur
(MENAFN - NewsIn.Asia) "> Colombo, May 22 (newsin.asia): Sri Lankan President Maithripala Sirisena on Wednesday pardoned the firebrand Buddhist monk, Ven. Galagoda Aththe Gnanasara Thero, and had taken steps to order his release, a top source in the Presidential Secretriat said.
The source further said that the release of the monk is based on a certification of good conduct by the Prisons Department and also other considerations, which he did not reveal.
It is expected that the formalities will be completed and the monk released on Thursday.
The President's not unexpected action is apparently in appreciation of the monk's relentless efforts, in the past few years, to sensitize the authorities and the people of Sri Lanka to growing Jehadist tendencies in a section of the country's Muslims.
It was only when local Jehadis, affiliated to the Islamic State, carried out nine suicide bombings in the country on April 21, that it dawned on the people and the authorities that Ven.Gnanasara Thero had been speaking the truth.
It was felt that if only the monk's warnings were heeded and steps had been taken to nip the menace in the bud, 253 innocent people would not have lost their lives and the country would not have lost US$ 1.5 billion in tourism revenue.
Last Saturday, the President met Ven.Gnanasara Thero in the Welikade jail on the sidelines of a function to release over 700 prisoners to mark the Buddhist festival of Vesak. The monk had been serving a six year sentence in the jail since December 2018 in a contempt of court case.
According to Dr. Dilanthe Vithanage, the CEO of the Bodu Bala Sena (BBS), of which Ven. Gnanasara Thero is General Secretary, the President had a 45 minute meeting with the monk. Other reports said that the monk had given him detailed information about the activities of Jehadi groups in Sri Lanka, information which had been given to him by Muslims themselves.
Moderate, peace-loving Muslims were the first to demand the release of Ven.Gnanasara Thero. Western Province Governor Azath Salley and the Eastern Province Governor MLAM Hisbullah had openly sought the release of the monk.
On Wednesday Sally told the media that he expects the monk's early release.
'We have made representations to President Maithripala Sirisena for his release from jail,' Salley was quoted as saying in a media release issued by his office.
He also pointed out that the prediction of the BBS General Secretary on extremism had come true.
Sally was accompanied by former Finance Minister Ravi Karunanayake during his visit to the Welikada Prison to see the monk.
Following, Gnanasara Thero's release ,President Sirisena is likely to take a sympathetic view of military intelligence officers who had been detained or harassed for alleged abduction of Tamils and others during the separatist war which ended in May 2009.
Sirisena had publicly stated that detaining these intelligence operatives who were only doing their job was unfair.
Opposition nationalist leaders had said that detention and harassment were demoralizing the intelligence services. According to one source the Sirisena-Wickeremesinghe government, which took over in January 2015, had been harassing 50 intelligence officers.
It is said that one of the reasons for the non-use of accurate and timely Indian intelligence inputs given ahead of the April 21 suicide blasts was the demoralization that had afflicted the Lankan intelligence community.
Wajar saja dibebaskan, karena apa yg diperingatkannya akan ancaman muslim ekstrimis ternyata benar terjadi dengan adanya pemboman gereja. Bahkan tokoh muslim Srilangka saja minta agar biksu ini dibebaskan
