Arrestan a un alto monje budista en Sri Lanka por presunto abuso infantil

Las autoridades de Sri Lanka arrestaron el sábado a un alto monje budista por el presunto abuso sexual de una niña de 11 años. La policía informó que el hombre de 71 años fue detenido en un hospital privado de Colombo. La madre de la víctima también fue arrestada bajo cargos de complicidad.

El arresto involucra a Pallegama Hemarathana, sacerdote principal de un templo altamente venerado en Anuradhapura, a unos 200 kilómetros al norte de la capital. Las autoridades alegan que el abuso ocurrió allí en 2022. La antigua ciudad es Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la UNESCO, y Hemarathana se desempeña como custodio de un árbol cultivado a partir de un retoño de Bodhi vinculado a la iluminación de Buda hace más de 2.500 años. También supervisa ocho templos en una importante ruta de peregrinación budista.
