Panay News: End culture of impunity
THE PANAGHIUSA Philippine Network continues to call for justice for the victims of the Tumandok Massacre.
Before the massacre happened, the Tumandok leaders were red-tagged or designated as terrorists during the former Duterte administration. Under the current Marcos administration, 11 environmental defenders have already been killed.
Amid continuing threats, harassment, the weaponization of law, and other forms of violence, the Panaghiusa Philippine Network along with the Indigenous Peoples will continue to hold the former and current regimes accountable for their atrocities. We will continue to rise and end the culture of impunity.
Their deaths only served to inspire the Tumandok to fight more valiantly, for as long as there are attacks against indigenous rights, there will be those who will defend them.
