Kalinaw SEMR: Kulong kina Satur, Castro, atbp. hustisya sa Lumad

Pilipino Star Ngayon

MANILA, Philippines — Itinuturing ng orga­nisasyon ng mga dating kadre at dating kasapi ng grupong komunista na isang hakbang tungo sa katarungan ang na­ging hatol ng hukuman na pagkakakulong laban kina dating Bayan Muna Representative Satur Ocampo at Alliance of Concerned Teachers (ACT-Teachers) Rep. France Castro, kasama ng 11 iba pa dahil sa kasong pang-aabuso sa 14 kabataan.

“As an organization of former cadres and members of the CPP-NPA-NDFP, Kalinaw SEMR views the court’s decision as a crucial step toward justice for the Lumad of Talaingod, who have long been exploited by false promises of radical change,” ayon kay Arian Jane O, Ramos, pangulo ng Kalinaw SEMR.

Sinabi ni Ramos na sa kasaysayan, ang aktibismo at pagkakaisa ng mga Manobo at iba pang tribong Lumad ay nagpakita ng kapangyarihan ng kolektibong pagkilos at kamalayan sa pulitika.

Gayunpaman, ang aktibismong ito ay inilihis ng CPP-NPA-NDFP mula sa pagkamit ng mahahalagang benepisyo para sa Lumad tungo sa pampulitikang agenda na naglalayong lansagin ang pamahalaan.

“The Lumad have already spoken out against the influence of the CPP-NPA-NDFP in their communities and have chosen to return to the folds of the law and abandon armed struggle,” sabi ni Ramos.
