We vehemently condemn the unjust conviction of current Rep. France Castro, former BAYAN Muna rep Satur Ocampo and others for their work protecting the rights of Lumad children against the grip of the fascist Armed Forces of the Philippines. This case, filed in 2018, is indicative of the fascist policies Duterte put in place that continue to wreak havoc on human rights defenders.

Malaya Movement USA supports the resolutions put forth by several House representatives to cooperate with the International Criminal Court’s (ICC) investigations of former president Rodrigo Duterte’s deadly War on Drugs and extrajudicial killings starting from his time as Davao City Mayor. We condemn the Marcos-Duterte administration and its cronies for consistently blocking any attempts to hold dictator Duterte accountable for his crimes against the Filipino people.
