Wazzup Pilipinas!
At least 21 peasants were killed since January in Philippines considered as the most dangerous country for farmers.
Imagine being an agricultural capital notorious for killing off its own farmers. Imagine being the MOST DANGEROUS country for farmers.
Violence and death threats against activists and human rights defenders have continued unabated.
There will be no climate justice while the Philippines remains one of the most dangerous places for environmental defenders or activists.
Hands-off activists! Protect our human rights defenders!
Philippines is indeed the most dangerous country for land defenders and farmers which is the very sector keeping us alive. 268 dead. 9 massacres. 10 children, killed for fighting for their rights. Let that sink in. Demand justice. Demand accountability.
On today's Global Day of Action for the country, we call for land and justice for the Filipino farmers.
Global Day of Action against Killings in the Philippines.
Today as the session of the UN Human Rights Council opens we continue to call justice for all the victims of extra judicial killings in the Philippines.
We join more than 700 organizations & individuals all over the world asserting the call for an int'l investigation on the human rights situation in PH because of the “fruitlessness & ineffectiveness of domestic measures in exacting accountability.
I call on the UN Human Rights Council to investigate the situation in the Philippines and to stop the killings of activists and human rights defenders.
#JusticeForAll slain PH farmers!
