Human rights groups and progressive formations gather at the Commission on Human Rights compound to condemn the Bloody Sunday raids in Calabarzon on March 7, 2021.

Karapatan, Release

 

MANILA, Philippines (Updated 2:06 p.m.) — Human rights and labor groups called for swift action on the complaints filed against state forces involved in the “Bloody Sunday” raids that killed nine activists in Calabarzon.

 

A year after activists were killed as police and military personal executed search warrants on March 7, 2021, rights watchdog Karapatan and labor group Kilusang Mayo Uno said that attacks against and red-tagging of human rights defenders and unionists continue.

 

Union leader Manny Asuncion, and fisherfolk leaders Ariel Evangelista and Chai Lemita-Evangelista, housing rights activists Melvin Dasigao and Mark Lee Bacasno, indigenous Dumagat farmers Puroy and Randy Dela Cruz, and banana farmers Edward and Abner Esto were killed during simultaneous police and military operations in Batangas, Cavite, Laguna and Rizal. Authorities also arrested several others during the raids.
