Bintang ragbi New Zealand, Sonny Bill Williams mencetuskan kontroversi di Twitter setelah berkongsi dua gambar jasad kanak-kanak Syria dalam keadaan mengerikan, lapor The Guardian.

Gambar berkenaan menunjukkan dua jasad kanak-kanak yang kelihatan sudah meninggal dunia dengan kecederaan ngeri di tubuh dan kepala.

(Amaran: Gambar tersebut ngeri dan boleh dilihat di sini)

“Apa yang telah kanak-kanak ini lakukan sehingga menerima nasib sebegini? Musim panas ini ingatilah nyawa mereka yang tidak berdosa yang terkorban di medan perang,” ujar Williams dalam twit beliau yang disertakan dengan dua gambar tersebut.

Gambar tersebut dimuat naik selepas beliau melawat sebuah kem pelarian di Lembah Bekaa, Lubnan awal Disember lalu sebagai tetamu Unicef New Zealand.

Antara realiti dan sensitiviti

Twit Williams serta-merta mewujudkan dua kem yang hangat mendebatkan kewajaran tindakan pemenang Piala Dunia Ragbi itu.

Kebanyakan warga Twitter meluahkan rasa tidak selesa kerana tindakan tersebut melanggar sensitiviti keluarga dan hak kanak-kanak.

.@SonnyBWilliams Delete these. It is so disrespectful to share them when the parents of many dead Syrian children request that people don't.

Mereka juga tidak bersetuju gambar ngeri seperti itu disiar oleh Williams kerana beliau mempunyai lebih 500 ribu pengikut di Twitter, termasuklah kanak-kanak.

@SonnyBWilliams did you even stop to think about your young followers before posting these pictures of dead children? Obviously not!

Ada juga yang meminta Williams mengandaikan beliau berada di tempat ibu bapa kanak-kanak berkenaan.

@SonnyBWilliams respect the dead and their family who is grieving. Would you want your loved ones blasted all over twitter?

@SonnyBWilliams If Imaan was run over by a drunk driver would you want someone else sharing photos of her mangled body for awareness ?

(Imaan merupakan anak perempuan Williams yang berusia kira-kira setahun)

Namun begitu, ramai juga netizen yang tidak menganggap perbuatan Williams sebagai satu kesalahan.

Rata-rata beranggapan realiti mangsa perang sebagai sesuatu yang perlu didedahkan untuk menimbulkan keinsafan kepada anggota masyarakat yang masih hidup.

@SonnyBWilliams Very brave decision to show these horrific images. Might waken some up to the harsh realities of the consequences of war.

@SonnyBWilliams well done for bringing to attention. People are too ignorant to what is happening. This IS going on and people NEED to see

Pendirian Unicef New Zealand

Menurut jurucakap Unicef New Zealand, Patrick Rose, organisasi berkenaan sama sekali tidak akan menyebarkan gambar sedemikian.

“Itu bukan proses kami. Kami tidak merakam foto tersebut, dia tidak ada bersama-sama dengan kami ketika foto itu dirakam, dia tidak menemukan foto tersebut ketika menyertai lawatan kami ke Lubnan, dan dia tidak meminta nasihat kami sebelum memuat naik foto tersebut,” tegas Rose.

Pengarah Unicef New Zealand, Vivien Maidaborn yang bersama-sama Williams melawat kem di Lubnan pula berkata tindakan bintang ragbi tersebut menunjukkan beliau berada dalam fasa ‘mempertimbangkan apa yang mampu beliau lakukan’ untuk membantu.
