Immediately release Ceeka Garzon!

The Philippine government is committing human rights violations and war crimes.

Ceeka is an activist-artist and is currently under Philippine National Police custody after being taken after an alleged “encounter” in Mindoro. She is facing trumped-up charges.

According to her family, Ceeka has been subjected to psychological torture and abuse at the hands of the 203rd brigade and 68th Battalion. Ceeka’s family attempted to visit her while in custody and was blocked by government paid, red-tagging protesters. Ceeka hasn’t been allowed access to legal counsel. This is against the law.

In the days to come, the military will double down on their red-tagging and deny use of torture and psywar tactics. This is not new. This is what they did to Fil-Am activist Chantal Anicoche in January. The Philippine military’s track record of abuse is long, violent, deadly, and funded by U.S. tax dollars.

This is Marcos Jr.’s National Action Plan for Unity, Peace, and Development in action. His sham “peace” initiative is directed by the U.S. to repress and silence the people’s movement. Marcos Jr. tries to hide his fascism but he is continuing Duterte-era policies of killing, disappearances, torture, and repression.

We vehemently condemn these fascist attacks and demand the immediate release of Ceeka.

End violations human rights and of international humanitarian law! Defend mindoro!

Labanan ang pasismo!
