ATTACK ON COOPER, the untold story

jan 27th

'sally's human rights are nobody's concern.

i think she's an OBC, not a harijan, and a hindu. so nobody cares about her rape by a missionary without a valid visa and his thugs.

the 'rape' of nuns (there was no rape, but a hysterical woman made it up) gets repeated again and again and becomes the truth. the rape of an actual OBC or harijan girl is quietly buried. if necessary, she will be killed too (this is what happened to one shari nair in kerala. she was impregnated and then killed).

Dear Francois,

I've just chanced upon the following piece I wrote in 2002 regarding teh so-called attatck on "bishop" Cooper. The contents of the article exposes the entire hollowness of the charges levelled against the "Hindu fanatcis".

ATTACK ON COOPER: THE UNTOLD STORY
From : benjamin panavelil ninan

Is the religious freedom and safety of a White American missionary who, on a
tourist visa, has violated the laws of our land more important than that of
a dalit home nurse, Saly, who has been brutally, continuously and repeatedly, raped, sexually harassed and abused for four months by four Christian beasts in human clothes? Is her life not worth a tear? Is it because we still consider the Whiteman superior to us? Isn't because of our eternal feeling of inferiority, which itself is a legacy of British colonization?

SALY, who lost her parents, is a poor, young Dalit girl. Rev. P.K.Sam and
his wife in January 2001 under the pretext of looking after Kunjoonjamma of
Aluva brought her to the Covenant Hospital and old age home at Mallasseri in Pathanamthitta District of Kerala, as home nurse, from the Adoor Red Cross.

The hospital and old age home belong to the family of 'Pastor' Benson who
was attacked along with the American 'Bishop" Joseph Cooper, allegedly by RSS activists, in Trivandrum recently. Benson, first of all, is not a pastor or a preacher. He is just an ordinary civil contractor working only for the Trivandrum Bible College.

What Sally faced was hell on earth at the hands of four despicable men while
she was at the Covenant Hospital and old age home. Benson, his brothers Dr.
Samson and Stephen and their 70-year-old-father P.K.Sam, one after the
other, repeatedly raped and abused her, regularly, day after day, and night
after night. It was literally an orgy without exaggeration. When the
helpless girl started resisting she was promised a job in USA and was
quietly shifted to Trivandrum Bible College run by C.V.John (uncle of
Benson's wife).

But the dalit girl's nightmarish days continued unendingly. She was not
permitted to contact her family members at Pathanamthitta during these
harrowing days. Somehow, she managed to smuggle out an SOS to her brother.
Her cousin jointly with the activists of Democratic Women's Association
lodged a complaint with Pathanamthitta Police Station. The police swung into
action, raided the Trivandrum Bible College, rescued SALLY from the clutches
of the four wretched Christians and handed her over to her guardians.

The Pathanamthitta Police registered a case against Rev. P.K.Sam and all his
sons. The entire family went underground, fearing imminent arrests. They subsequently obtained anticipatory bail.

However Benson remained underground from October 2002, until he surfaced
suddenly to translate 'Bishop' Cooper's sermons at the Gospel Convention at
Kilimanoor in Trivandrum. It is said that some of the onlookers, who have
been following the notorious sex scandal of the foursome, recognized Benson
in his new avatar. They became furious at his presence and followed him
and others after the meeting. The attack was a spontaneous reaction and was
targeted against Benson and his family only. And 'Bishop' Cooper was
unfortunately caught in the melee.
