“The testimonies of residents point to clear violations of international humanitarian law, violations which the military has long denied. The people want the military out of their communities. No amount of certification-making can erase these testimonies.
“KARAPATAN joins the people in demanding that the AFP stop glossing over the reality of oppression and exploitation and stop evading accountability for violations of human rights and international humanitarian law. We continue to stand in solidarity with the people in exposing the AFP’s lies and opposing repression.” — KARAPATAN Deputy Secretary General Atty. Maria Sol Taule
