From the political prisoners at Camp Bagong Diwa
We, political prisoners, are glad that one of the most notorious fascist butchers of social activists and even of innocent masses has at last been caught and now held in jail—at least as of now.
From the political prisoners at Camp Bagong Diwa
We, political prisoners, are glad that one of the most notorious fascist butchers of social activists and even of innocent masses has at last been caught and now held in jail—at least as of now.
Progressive and revolutionary forces all over the country are determined to make General Jovito Palparan pay for his numerous capital crimes against the people, from as far south as the Eastern Visayas provinces of Samar and Leyte, the Southern Tagalog Provinces of Mindoro, Quezon and Laguna, up to as far north as Nueva Ecija and other Central Luzon provinces.
We, political prisoners, and our loved ones, our co-advocates of social change, and the masses we have dedicated to serve have actually been among the numerous victims of the fascist crimes of The Butcher Palparan and others like him, including many who are still in the active service of the reactionary armed forces. Political prisoners are the living victims of arbitrary arrest, illegal detention, torture, attempts at extrajudicial killings, and other fascist violations of our human rights under the hands of military/paramilitary, police, prison, and other forces of repression of the reactionary ruling state.
The Butcher Palparan and others like him are actually the ones who deserve to be in prison, and not we, who have all along only been seeking to serve the people to the fullest. We bear no crime against the people.
We, political prisoners, our fellow dedicated advocates of social change for the sake of the people, and other victims of The Butcher Palparan and his ilk’s fascist repression and violence, will be closely following how he will be treated and made to go through the present ruling state’s course of justice. We are fully aware that efforts to frustrate such will always be sought by promotions and "bosses" of his like in the ruling state, from the military, police, jail, prosecutory, judicial, legislative, and up to the executive level.
