More repression of Filipino labor and human rights activists
 Since we reported on the arrest of labour lawyer Remigio Saladero onOctober 23, 2008, the Philippine authorities have issued arrest warrants for 71 other labour and human rights activists.
They are being accused of murder and attempted murder for allegedly taking up arms against the government and attacking police forces in an ambush in Mindoro province in March 2006. The accusations are based on a statement of one witness whose testimony is highly questionable and no investigation has taken place. Six activists have already been arrested and the others may be seized by the military police at any moment.

MANILA, Philippines - No thanks to a subverted justice system,
Philippine institutions and measures established to protect civil,
political and economic rights end up denying these rights to poor
Filipinos.
Worse, Hong Kong-based Asian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) said, such
a justice system is reminiscent of things under the late strongman
Ferdinand Marcos.
