Defend the right to protest!

Drop the charges against the Makabayan Coalition and those unjustly charged under BP 880! 

Malaya Movement USA condemns the bogus and unjust trumped-up charges against the Makabayan senatorial candidates and other community leaders filed on January 9 in Manila. The 13 are the most recent in a slew of charges using Batas Pambansa 880 (BP 880) or the “Public Assembly Act of 1985” as pretense for political repression, citing their participation during the November 30 Bonifacio Day mobilizations as being in violation of the Marcos Sr. era law.
