CENTRAL COMMITTEE OF ALIANSI GERAKAN REFORMA AGRARIA (AGRA) CONDEMN THE TERRORS TAGGING HUNDREDS OF PHILIPPINES PEOPLE BY THE FASCIST REGIME DUTERTE
On February 21st, a petition was filed by State Attorney General Peter Ong with a trial trial in Manila and only announced last week that lists 461 names and 188 other names the government wants to declare a “terrorist.” The list of terror targets peasant leaders, trade unions, youth, women, local activists and civil society at large who continue to fight for the sovereignty, social justice, democracy and rights of the Filipino people.
Aliansi Gerakan Reforma Agraria (AGRA) considers that the list of terror is a major threat to the safety and security of the broad Filipinos, considering Duterte’s bloody of extra- judicial killing (EJKs) in which thousands have been killed since he served as President. With various security policies enforced, Duterte effectively legitimizes the military and police to arrest, detain, kidnap or even killed the people who registered in their “Terrorist” list without legal process.
