The International Coalition for Human Rights in the Philippines is calling on all members and supporters all over the world to campaign against the intensifying state repression in the Philippines.
Let us amplify the calls of the Filipino people and together expose and oppose the widespread and increasing militarization of communities and vicious attacks on those who resist imperialist plunder of their land and resources.
