Yes, si Zera ulit! ✴️ Ngayon, samahan natin sya upang makidiskusyon kasama ni Ley Capuyan, anak ni Dexter, upang mas kilalanin pa sino nga ba si Dexter Capuyan.

🗯️ Ano naman ang mga desaparecidos? At bilang manonood, ano ang puwede nating gawin para makatulong sa kampanyang #SurfaceDexterAndBazoo at Surface All the Desaparecidos?

Patambulin pa natin ang kampanyang ito at kalampagin pa sa darating na February 17, 2024. ��🏼

TFIP backs UN expert Khan’s call to abolish NTF-ELCAC
February 2, 2024

The Philippine Task Force for Indigenous Peoples’ Rights supports the recommendation of United Nations Special Rapporteur Irene Khan to abolish the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict.

[🌱 Philippine Task Force for IPs' Rights @philtfip]

The NTF-ELCAC’s vilification of dissent has been used to justify the illegal arrests and detentions, fabricated charges, abductions, and terrorist designation against the Indigenous Peoples and human rights defenders.

[AlterMidya @altermidya]

UNSR Khan: The culture of impunity from the previous administration lingers. The current government must send out the message that it does not tolerate red-tagging.

[AlterMidya @altermidya]

A question on how the Terror Law is used to close banks accounts is posed.

UNSR Khan answers: I feel the ATA as it is now framed does not provide the security it should provide people. The Supreme Court should look into how it is applied.

[AlterMidya @altermidya]

UNSR Khan: There is clear evidence that red-tagging and terror-tagging is being used by state forces, targeting legitimate activists. It chills freedom of expression.
