#UndoingDuterte | 25 massacres recorded
MANILA – Human rights alliance Karapatan documented 25 massacres with 120 individuals killed since Duterte assumed office 2016 until June 2021.
Based on the group’s data, 36 percent of the victims were farmers fighting for their right to land. The rest of the victims are indigenous peoples and other civilians.
Cristina Palabay, secretary general of Karapatan, said that in implementing counterinsurgency policies, state forces have made no distinction between legitimate dissent and armed struggles, and wrongly equated such to terrorism.
“The armed conflict and its roots are deliberately reduced not as a result of historical, socio-economic and political conditions but as mere ‘violent’ acts; and the employment of a militarist approach combined with mass deception aimed at ‘neutralizing’ their perceived enemies, without addressing the socio-economic and political roots of the armed struggle,” Palabay said.
