Human rights advocate KARAPATAN today marched to Mendiola to condemn the 2nd incident of killings among activist under President Benigno Aquino III administration.
KARAPATAN denounces the assasination of Pascula Guevarra, a 78 year old peasant leader in Luar, Nueva Ecija who was shot dead on Friday, July 9.
In a statement, KARAPATAN Chair Marie Hilao- Enriquez said that Aquino's silence on this issue is a way of giving license to the military to continue the killings of civilians with impudence and impunity.
Enriquez also calls on PNOY not to make his own list of victims of political killings citing more than 1205 victims of extra judicial killings under former President Gloria Macapagal- Arroyo.
The group appeal to all human rights defenders to continue on pressuring the new administration to end impunity and stop the killings.
