The violent dispersal
of the picket rally by the stranded OFWs in Riyadh clearly exemplifiy the abominable
standard operation procedure of the Philippine government which has the brand
of a true fascist regime.
The news release reads: According to reports
from the stranded OFWs, POLO-Riyadh officials called Saudi mobile police last
night and proceeded to harass, electrocute and arrest leaders of the campout
protest. Three of the leaders who were electrocuted and arrested remain missing
as of this posting.
Migrante-Riyadh identified the arrested and
still missing OFWs as Reden Caboboy (KSA mobile #: 00966562642769), Fernand
Morante (KSA mobile #: 00966580755706) and Glenn Mark Corbilla.
OFWs who were harassed, manhandled and
electrocuted were identified as Jerby Alcaide (KSA mobile # 00966530328789),
Richard Prindol (KSA mobile #00966506109590) and Klight Alligo (KSA mobile #:
0966580559485). They are still with the protesters at the PH embassy and Riyadh
and are available for interviews and testimonies.
Garry Martinez
remarked on the ijncident: “Nagbigay nga ng extension ang gobyerno ng Saudi
pero mismong ang mga opisyal ng gobyerno ng Pilipinas ang nagte-terrorize at
nananakit sa mga OFW natin. Dapat panagutin ng gobyernong Aquino ang pasimuno
ng karahasang ito.”
Martinez also called on all freedom-loving
Filipinos and the international community to condemn the harassment and arrests
of stranded OFWs in Riyadh. He said that stranded OFWs in Riyadh and Jeddah in
Saudi are resolved to continue their protests despite the declaration of
extension of the deadline for the resumption of crackdowns in Saudi to
reiterate their demand for “free, urgent and mass repatriation”.
Tomorrow, July 4, returned OFWs and families
of stranded OFWs will hold a big protest action in Mendiola to condemn the
Aquino government’s slow action and neglect of OFWs in distress. ###
The OFWs in Rome, Italy condemn this violence exhibited by the
PE Riyadh which is anti-people, anti-OFW and undemocratic!!! We demand the end of all violent actions
against OFWs in KSA, the immediate and mass repatriation of all stranded Filipino
migrant workers from Saudi Arabia and elsewhere in MidEast and the revall of
Ambassador Tago!!!

FASCIST ACTIONS!!!
