By ANNE MARXZE D. UMIL MANILA – Two months into the killing of nine activists in the Calabarzon region and still there is no progress on their case. Cristina Palabay, secretary general of Karapatan, said that two months is already too long since the Department of Justice’s Administrative Order No. 35 (AO 35) Committee has pledged to investigate the killings of the nine activists. On March 7, nine activists in four provinces of Calabarzon (Cavite-Laguna-Batangas-Rizal-Quezon) were killed in what is now known as “Bloody Sunday”. Palabay added that the families of the victims are also experiencing harassment by state forces. She urged Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra to step up and talk to members of the AO 35 to stop harassing witnesses.
