Rome migrant workers
condemn in strongest terms the assassination of the municipal coordinator of
Anakpawis in Mawab Compostela Valley last May 25, 2013.
Canon was shot and killed
by unidentified persons. Initial police
investigation showed that Canon sustained multiple gunshot wounds in his head
and body causing his death.
The perpetrators of his
killing must be arrested and jailed. We blame the the military and the
government’s Oplan Bayanihan anti-insurgency campaign for this latest case of
politically-motivated extra judicial killing of the Abnakpawis coordinator.
The
killing may be related to the military campaign against leaders of progressive
groups that protested against the government’s inaction amidst, and
responsibility for, the devastation brought by typhoon Pablo last year.
Mawab
town was one of the hardest-hit areas affected by typhoon Pablo.
Human
rights group Karapatan, confirmed that Canon had been harassed and vilified by
elements of the 66th Infantry Batallion of the Philippine Army before he was
killed.
According
to Hanimay Suazo, secretary-general of Karapatan-Southern Mindanao Region Canon
was frequently harassed by a certain Sgt. Castillo, Dante Ramirez and two other
and vilified Cañon’s affiliation with the progressive party-list.
NO TO MILITARIZATION OF COUNTRYSIDE!
STOP THE HARASSMENTS AND
VILLIFICATIONS OF PROGRESSIVE LEADERS AND ORGANIZATIONS!
END EXTRA JUDICIAL KILLINGS AND
IMPUNITY IN THE PHILIPPINES!
JUNK OPLAN BAYANIHAN!!!
