Ondergetekenden spreken hun ongerustheid uit over de moorden op en de verdwijningen van leiders en leden van oppositiepartijen en volksorganisaties in de Filippijnen door het Filippijnse leger en zijn paramilitaire organisaties. Onder de slachtoffers zijn mensenrechten activisten, advocaten, journalisten, geestelijken, boerenleiders en arbeiders. Zij behoren allen tot progressieve organisaties gekant tegen de repressieve politiek van de Filippijnse regering waaronder het volk zwaar te lijden heeft, zoals die vorm krijgt in ondermeer de nieuwe
belastingwetten, het vrij baan geven aan buitenlandse mijnbouwbedrijven die het leefmilieu vernietigen en de bestaansmogelijkheden van de
mensen aantasten, de nationale identificatieplicht en de invoering van zogenaamde antiterrorisme wetten.
Wij vragen u publiekelijk van deze misdaden afstand te nemen en al het noodzakelijke te doen om schending van mensenrechten door de
gewapende macht van de staat te stoppen.

Petition Against State-Sponsored Terrorism in the Philippines
Ms. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo
President of the Republic of the Philippines
Malacanang Palace, J.P. Laurel St., San Miguel
Manila, NCR 1005, PHILIPPINES
Fax: +63 2929 3968
We, the undersigned, are alarmed by the killings and involuntary disappearances carried out by the Philippine military and its paramilitary units of leaders and members of opposition parties and popular organizations in the Philippines. The victims include human rights workers, lawyers, journalists, church people, peasant leaders and
workers. They belong to progressive organizations opposing the policies of the Philippine government that impose more hardships and repression on the people like legislating new taxes, allowing the operation of foreign mining companies that destroy the environment and the livelihood of the people, enacting laws such as the National ID system and the Anti-Terrorism Law, among others.
We demand that you publicly denounce these acts and take the necessary steps to end violations of human rights by state forces.
Gloria Arroyo continues to ignore the blood on her hands while her military forces keep hunting down activists and organizers. I am spending every waking hour exposing these crimes and the silence from Malacanang is absolutely deafening. Do not let them sweep these murders and disappearances under the rug.
November 9, 2005
The momentum behind this petition proves that the world is watching Arroyo and her regime. We will not stay silent while the military continues to terrorize activists and ordinary people.

My heart goes out to the families who have lost someone. We need real change and accountability from the top down.

The killings have to stop now. The government is failing its own people and it is just heartbreaking to see friends and family living in such constant fear.

Enough is enough. These activists are just trying to help the poor but they get treated like criminals. Justice for the victims!

They are destroying the land for foreign mining companies and killing anyone who tries to protect the environment. Shameful.
