ICHRP, along with Friends of the Filipino People in Struggle and Peace For Life, held a webinar on December 3 about the condition of political prisoners in the Philippines and the urgent need for solidarity.

While massive protests calling for accountability for corrupt politicians have erupted over the last two months in the Philippines, 737 political prisoners remain incarcerated, including women, elderly, and the sick. While the current US-supported Marcos regime and their cronies face accusations of massive theft from public funds, peasants activists, unionists, indigenous people, journalists and NDFP peace consultants face cruel prison conditions under fabricated charges and malicious “terrorist” labels.
The webinar featured speakers Tinay Palabay of KARAPATAN, Mong Palatino of BAYAN, as well as additional speakers from Peace for Life, ICHRP, and Friends of the Filipino People in Struggle.
