Lawyers condemn killing of colleague in Negros

Members of the National Union of Peoples’ Lawyers held an indignation rally in Quezon City hours after learning that their colleague, Atty Benjamin Ramos–NUPL founding member and Negros Oriental secretary general–was killed in cold blood in Kabankalan City Tuesday night.

The lawyers believed that Ramos’ murder was connected with his involvement with the struggles of poor peasants in his home island. (Video by Jo Maline D. Mamangun)
