Stop attacks on young human rights defenders in the Philippines

Young human rights defenders in the Philippines have come under intensified attacks in a coordinated state-led campaign of harassment and intimidation.

I call on President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and the Philippine Congress to cease these attacks and keep young human rights defenders safe.

I urge the President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and the Philippine Congress to recognise, respect, and protect the work of activists and human rights defenders - particularly young defenders  - people who fight for life, equality, justice, and a better society for every person, by:

  • Abolishing the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict and carry out a prompt, independent investigation into the practices of the task force throughout its operations.
  • Passing the Human Rights Defenders (HRD) Protection Act as a first step towards recognising the work of HRDs and include among its provisions the definition & penalisation of ‘red-tagging’. 
  • Repealing the Anti-Terrorism Act and carry out an independent, impartial and transparent investigation into abuses in the use of this and related laws.  
  • Reviewing provisions of the Cybercrime Act, especially on libel, and ensure that any counterterrorism measures are not used to suppress the rights to freedom of expression and peaceful assembly.
  • Invalid phone number
