Human Rights Day 2007


Photos of the 56th International Human Rights Day Protest in Plaza Miranda.


Extrajudicial killings under the Arroyo regime: 887. Desaparecidos: 188 (as of Dec 18, 2007)

Evangeline Hernandez, spokesperson of Hustisya, an organization of families of victims of human rights violations. Her daughter Benjaline, a human rights worker, was killed by the military last 2002.


Hehe. People viewing Surfacing of Projekt Desap, a photo exhibit on the lives of families of desaparecidos.

This is my photo essay of Noki, son of abducted NDFP consultant Prudencio Calubid. To view Surfacing of Projekt Desap online, click here.



Protesters, led by veil-clad women, were blocked by police from reaching Mendiola.

Protesters from Southern Tagalog were blocked as well.


But the protest ended in high spirits, with the people who participated believing that someday, Arroyo will pay for all her crimes against the people.
