After years of violence, impunity and 30,000+ lives lost, Duterte’s ICC arrest is a critical step towards justice and accountability for the victims of Duterte’s war on drugs. His fascist rule left a lasting impact on Philippine society, and he and his murderous cronies must all be held to account for their crimes against the Filipino.
Malaya Movement USA amplifies the urgent call to surface disappeared indigenous Lumad leaders Michelle Campos and Genasque Enriquez whose whereabouts are currently unknown after being arrested by state forces earlier this week.
Michelle and Genasque are both members of the Manobo tribe in Lianga, Surigao del Sur. Their tireless work to defend their ancestral domain from encroachment and destruction by mining corporations have made them targets by the state, along with other Lumad leaders like Michelle’s father, Dionel Campos. Dionel was one of three victims of the Lianga Massacre of 2015 by the 75th Infantry Battalion of the Philippine Army.
