by
Jong Pairez (reporting for indymedia) |
|
10 (ten) months had passed since the young backpackers and FoodNotBombs volunteers were illegally arrested, tortured, detained and charged with fabricated crimes by Philippine Authorities. The quest for their freedom continues, this includes a minor victory that helped 2 among the 11 detainees pulled-out from jail for being minors. Yet the struggle continues until everyone is free and until every one of us is free.

In Tokyo, young autonomous activists called for “Free Sagada 9” and “Stop Oppressing All Political Activists”.[ Read Story Here | And Here ]

Indymedia Journalist Murdered by Paramilitary Thugs |
by
Jong Pairez (indymedia) |
|
INDYMEDIA journalist shot dead by Oaxacan paramilitary thugs on the 27th of October while filming the people’s barricade in Santa Lucia- a town in Oaxaca, Mexico. [watch video here]
Brad Roland Will- a New York Indymedia journalist was with his camera at the barricades documenting the people’s strike against the Oaxacan Governor Ulises Ruiz before the shooting broke out that took a single bullet to end Brad's life. Prior to the recent killing, the five-month long strike of the Oaxacan people against their tyrant and corrupt Governor caused already a number of activists and civilians alike murdered by Military, Police and Paramilitaries.
In solidarity to seek justice for Brad Will and the people of Oaxaca, friends and activists demanded:
1. All armed forces acting on behalf of the government against the people of Oaxaca be removed immediately;
2. The illegitimate governor Ruiz be removed immediately;
3. The federal government negotiate directly with those people who man the barricades in Oaxaca;
4. Guilty parties on all levels be identified and held accountable for the assassinations of Brad Will and the other civilian victims in Oaxaca.
As of press time, the Indymedia Network and people around the globe who pay respect for Brad Will continue to take direct action targeting the Mexican Consulates in every country carrying the above-mentioned demands. Meanwhile, an online direct-action has been set-up by Cyber Activists as a response against the oppressive Mexican government. You can participate by going here [ Click Vive Oaxaca ]

Trash Not Our Future
05 September, 2006. Manila, Philippines. Environmental groups belonging to the Ecowaste Coalition are deeply concerned about the total lack of public disclosure of the soon to-be-signed Japan-Philippines Economic Partnership Agreement (JPEPA). As groups working on environmental and health issues, we are concerned about how this mega-treaty with Japan might influence the flow of problematic waste materials into the Philippines for disposal, such as infectious, hazardous and toxic wastes.[ Read More ] by GAIA
