CWIN's
Intermational Appeal against Pedophilias in Nepal
Investigation reports have
revealed Nepal slowly emerging as a safe destination for foreign
pedophilias. Besides the tourists, most of these perpetrators
are resident expatriates managing child care centers, who
in the guise of benefactors to these poor and underprivileged
children are sexually abusing them. In the last few years,
several have been arrested and held in police custody, but
only for a shortwhile, because there is no specific law against
pedophile.
Jean Jacques Haye (French,
passport no. 91 RI 16405) and Christopher R. Fraser (British,
passport no. 500020801)--both who managed child care centers
in Kathmandu--were arrested in May 1999 following complaints
by children, sexually abused by these two men.
Christopher was caught red
handed by the police during a raid at a guest house in Thamel.
Allegedly a notorious pedophilia, Christopher is also suspected
of making child pornography, with support from both Nepali
and foreigners. In May 24, 1999, a criminal ring associated
with Christopher has kidnapped three children from the playgound
of the CWIN Center for Children at Risk, who had testified
to the police on his illicit behavior and abuses. He wants
to destroy all evidences and testimonies that can prove his
heinous crime.
Fortunately, the Nepal Police
with CWIN's help has arrested the criminals involved and rescued
the kidnapped children. We thank the police for their action
against the pedophilias. We also urge HMG/N to take further
action to combat child sex abuse in the country. So, it's
important that the government collaborate closely with the
committed NGOs working against child sexual abuse and trafficking
in children in Nepal.
OUR APPEAL TO YOU IS, help
us by providing information about:
- - suspicious people and organizations
involved in child sexual abuse
- - action taken against child sexual
abuse
- - the blacklisted child sex abusers
from your respective countries (in detail)
- - different types of activities the
pedophilias organize to cover up their crime;
and also help us by:
- - suggesting and recommending how to
fight against the syndicate of child sex abusers
- - exposing information on the issue
through your communication system and media
- - sharing what sort of campaigning
activities are organized in your country against child
sex abuse
Thank you for your cooperation
