Call for justice for the disappeared continues
“At the end of the day, or years, our loved ones remain missing, leaving us with no warmth of their embraces, no place to see them, no graves to turn to when this season of remembrance comes.”

MANILA – Families, friends and colleagues remembered their disappeared loved ones on Nov. 1 as the world commemorated All Souls Day.
Desaparecidos, a group of families of the disappeared, led the simultaneous candle lighting calling for justice. Netizens also participated using the hashtag #SurfaceAllDesaparecidos.
The group lamented that despite the criminalization of enforced disappearances in the country, state forces “continue to commit such a grave crime simply because they have gotten away with it unpunished and unscathed.”
