This ninth report published by the United Nations highlights hateful digital ecosystem that was formed due to spread of disinformation, hate speech, false allegations and lawfare endangering the life and liberty of one of the most vulnerable and persecuted indigenous religious communities of Hinduism – Aboriginal Indigenous Agricultural Tribes (AIAT) and their leader, the Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism Bhagavan Nithyananda Paramashivam (“the SPH”). In the case of AIAT community, disinformation was used to illegally justify over 70 assassination attempts, over 250 sexual assaults, and lawfare of 121 false cases over 10 years on the SPH and AIAT community, as well as destruction of heritage properties worth over 27 million USD.
Specifically, the media disinformation-triggered persecution and genocide involved:
(i) Delegitimizing SPH by hate propaganda running to 17,500 hours of electronic media and 25,000 pages of print media, disenfranchising Him of His civil and human rights, prejudicing Him from fair representation and fair trial.
(ii) Well-planned multi-layer false hate propaganda by the ‘fourth estate’ media sustained by moral disengagement, leaving the broader public in a state of willful ignorance, motivated denial, out-group victim blaming, dehumanization and bystander apathy to even genocide.
(iii) Repeated illegal imprisonment, with brazen torture, custodial assassination attempts, enforced disappearances, supported by system justification in various forms, including the common processes of bureaucracy, indifference, self-deception, diffused responsibility, and has resulted in continued systemic complicity with torture, murder and genocide.
