I'm in a bad place. Not mentally. I just live in the Philippines where injustice killings of activists in their own homes are happening.
“Throughout his life, peasant leader and activist Randall Echanis had fought against injustice and inequality, espousing the causes of the oppressed and underserved.”
On Monday August 10, he was brutally murdered in his home.
Echanis, 72, was killed early morning Monday, August 10, inside his home in Quezon City. His body bore torture marks and multiple stab and gunshot wounds. They also killed a neighbor who came to check.
He had had already been identified by his widow and transferred to the family's funeral home of choice but QCPD policemen forcibly took his body away and have refused to release it.
Hustisya para kay Ka Randy!
Ang brutal na paglusob sa bahay at pagpaslang sa tagapagsulong ng kapayapaan na si Ka Randy sa ilalim ng Terror Law at pandemya ay patunay na hindi na ligtas ang lipunan maging ang ating tahanan habang nandyan si Duterte!
We condemn the brutal killing of Ka Randy Echanis. The police of this savage regime is merciless in terrorizing and silencing the people, even in death. We condemn the dictatorial tactics that make us not safe at home.
To serve and protect the interests of a heartless tyrant who will openly sell us to China and leave the Philippine people to the dogs. ayan ang PNP ngayon
Mariin nating kinokondena ang pagpaslang kay Ka Randy!
Hinding hindi mananahimik ang katotohanan. We only have Duterte and his fascist game to blame for the continuous carnage and crackdown against activists & civil society groups in the Philippines. SINO BA TALAGA ANG TUNAY NA TERORISTA?
Sino nga ba ang tunay na terorista kung hindi ang mga pumapaslang sa mga aktibista at mga kasapi sa kilusan ng pambansang demokrasya?
The murder of Ka Randy is a reminder to all of us that we are #NotSafeAtHome. We can't just stand idly by as this fascist government continues to take lives.
As we keep our silence over these blatant injustices, we become complicit to the crimes and abuses of the government. Demand justice for all those slained under the twisted motives of this self-righteous government!
If what you see makes you angry, use that anger to amplify the cries for help and justice of the people. Be part of the solution to rid the country of the injustices and atrocities perpetrated by the state.
Fight back against the state's atrocities. Use your voice to demand justice. Use your voice for the nation.
The world is saying #StayAtHome but the people in the Philippines are not #notsafeathome. Injustice killings of activists inside their homes are still happening. My people just have nowhere else to go to be safe. This perspective shall be known by other people.
For the lucky few, your safe home is a privilege to many during this pandemic. Even without pandemic, you are privileged to be in safety. But majority are in fear that anytime some will break down the door and kill you in your own home.
Hindi na pinaparamdam satin ng gobyerno yung "kaligtasan" na dapat maramdaman natin lalo na sa nangyayari ngayon. Sarili nga nating gobyerno ang number one violator na ng batas.
We need a healthier environment, we demand a better governance, we deserve better than everyday bullshits of fascism.
There is a great need to defend human rights, especially when the violators will do anything in their power to mislead the public.
This government is desperate to suppress dissent through intensified police and military presence which resulted to grave mass arrests and killings. It seems the government is afraid of the growing mass resistance against this fascist regime.
These blatant injustices and human rights violations, done by the government, only amplify the rage of the filipino people, driving us even more to put an end to this tyranny.
We can't simply turn a blind eye to the atrocities that keep on happening even in the midst of a PANDEMIC. Hustisya para kay Ka Randy! Wag manahimik sa panahong tila gobyerno mismo ang nag-aastang terorista.
