Sagada Backpackers Struggle for Freedom, Continues and Intensifies |
|
| 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.
 ON November 17th and 20th, International Action Day for the unconditional release of the illegally detained Sagada-bound backpackers was held, targeting Philippine Embassies and Consulates.
In Tokyo, young autonomous activists called for “Free Sagada 9” and “Stop Oppressing All Political Activists”.[ Read Story Here | And Here ] In Wellington, New Zealand “the protestors handed a staff member (Philippine Embassy) a letter calling on the government to immediately release the Sagada 11.” [ Photos and Story Here ] In Brighton, U.K., "about a dozen people visited the Philippines embassy in Kensington Palace Gardens to highlight the case of the Sagada 11". [ Read Here ]  In Berlin, Germany “some people attacked the ambassador of the philippines in berlin with color, besides they sprayed the slogan: freedom for the sagada11”.[ Read Here ] In Baguio, Philippines “Friends and families of the nine punks still languishing at the Benguet Provincial Jail in La Trinidad gathered at the Baguio Justice Hall grounds to dramatize their protest and attest their incessant support to their colleagues.” [ Read Here ] In Cyberspace, an online Direct Action or better known as Virtual Sit-in has resurfaced targeting once more the Philippine National Police website.

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.

Trash Not Our Future05 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).
