Did you know that certain student groups and religious organizations are being targeted in the Philippines by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo's government? There have been over 750 political killings since 2001 (surpassing the human rights violations committed by former dictator Ferdinand Marcos), with at least 200 attempted killings. Torture, forced disappearances, and other human rights violations are happening in the Philippines under the Oplan Bantay Laya (Operation Freedom Watch) to quell the political movements against GMA's rule and US imperialism.

The Filipino Canadian Youth Alliance - Toronto Chapter, along with the Filipino Students' Association of Toronto, is holding an information session on the current injustices happening to the Filipino people in the Philippines and on what we, in Canada, can do.
