STOP THE KILLINGS IN THE PHILIPPINES! UPHOLD HUMAN RIGHTS!

STOP THE KILLINGS IN THE PHILIPPINES! UPHOLD HUMAN RIGHTS!

On September 21, let us pay tribute to the heroes and martyrs of the people’s struggle in the Philippines!

JOIN US FOR A MEMORIAL-VIGIL AT 5:30PM IN FRONT OF LOURDES CHURCH (Sherbourne St.)

On September 21, 1972 in the Philippines, former dictator Ferdinand Marcos declared martial law. The iron-fisted dictator Marcos was eventually defeated by the Filipino people and the solidarity of peace-loving people all over the world.

Now, 34 years later, the Filipino people are once again facing another iron-fisted president. Since 2001, there have been 750 extra-judicial killings, close to 200 forced disappearances, and more arbitrary arrests under Philippine President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo’s administration.

Across Canada, Filipinos and Canadians will join the internationally-coordinated day of action on September 21 as part of the international ‘Stop Political Killings In The Philippines’ campaign.
