STOP THE KILLINGS!
UPHOLD HUMAN RIGHTS!
IN LESS than three months since mid-January, 32 people identified with activist political parties and organizations, have been systematically gunned down in a series of incidents across the country. In Central Luzon alone, the center of the Hacienda Luisita dispute, 13 have been summarily executed and 5 have been abducted and are still missing.
"Though not yet as numerous as during Martial Law," clarified Bayan Muna Rep. Satur Ocampo, "the numbers are nevertheless shocking and point to an equally dangerous situation."
The victims come from such diverse backgrounds as a City Councilor and Bayan Muna Leader, a radio broadcaster, news reporter and an officer of a people's organization, an Aglipayan priest and a lay churchworker, a human rights lawyer, worker-peasant leaders and activists. They were affiliated with legal organizations that have become the object of vilification by those who invoke the mantra of "national security" to suppress the voices of dissent.
"During Martial Law you at least knew which unit of the Philippine Constabulary was involved. Now, there are no rules being followed... not even the benefit of an arrest, search and seizure order (ASSO) commonly issued during Martial Law days," says another Congressman.
