Managua, Nicaragua, Sep 21, 2007 / 10:22 am (CNA).- Amnesty International has expanded its mission to gay rights issues and has demanded that Nicaragua to repeal its sodomy law.

Last week, Amnesty International, through its affiliates, orchestrated international protests outside Nicaraguan embassies and consulates in Germany, Canada, Chile, Iceland, Mexico, Paraguay, Sweden and Taiwan, demanding the repeal of Nicaragua's sodomy ban, reported LifeSiteNews.com.

"Article 204 contradicts numerous provisions in international human rights law," said an Amnesty press release. It added that Nicaragua's law, "clearly violates all these articles as well as the provisions of other human rights instruments that Nicaragua has ratified on sodomy."

Nicaragua criminalized sodomy in 1992 under Article 204 of Nicaragua's criminal code. Nicaragua remains one of the last Latin American countries to criminalize homosexual behavior.

The predominantly Catholic nation passed a total ban on abortion in 2006. It has since been the target of mounting pressure from the United Nations and pro-abortion nations to overturn its abortion legislation.

I agree with Max as well. Add UNICEF to that list.

I agree with Max. Evil forces have taken over Amnesty International and a few other once-reputable organisations. I wonder if this body will also organise protests against other countries - Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Iran, Egypt, Malaysia etc - because they, too, consider sodomy to be sinful as well as criminal.

It is becoming increasingly apparent that two international organizations (the United Nations and Amnesty International), which had been created with good intentions, have been subverted by evil forces into agents for the advocacy of evil and perverted practices.
While changing these organizations from within may be possible, it may not be probable. Better to let them wither on vine; withdraw all support, especially the financial.
