The new year 2021 in the Philippines heralds more
targeted state political killings, massacres, continuous
police killings of the poor, and a threat of mass arrests of
leaders and members of red-tagged
organisations.
“Donald Trump, with his blatant
assault on the US Congress on January 6, 2021, has
demonstrated what happens when impunity is the rule of the
day. The international community must act against impunity
of state actors in the Philippines to stop a greater tragedy
unfolding in this nation which once fired the global
imagination with the “people power” removal of the
Dictator Marcos in 1986,” said Mr Peter Murphy, Chair of
The International Coalition for Human Rights in the Philippines (ICHRP) urged an end to red-tagging activities and "systematic state murder" in the Philippines.
