Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, March 10) The United Nations expressed alarm over the killing of nine activists and the arrest of six others in CALABARZON region over the weekend. We are appalled by the apparently arbitrary killing of nine activists in simultaneous police-military operations in Batangas, Cavite, Laguna and Rizal provinces surrounding Metro Manila, said UN High Commissioner for Human Rights spokesperson Ravina Shamdasani in a press briefing on Tuesday.
Shamdasani added the violent crackdown could further promote intimidation and red-tagging against activists, citing the Philippine government s record of accusing them of being members of the Communist Party of the Philippines.
