Aktion gegen die Folter auf den Philippinen
Eine Aktion gegen die Folter auf den Philippinen
mit Twitter!
TWEET
We believe sustained pressure on the following key Senators who are active on Twitter can have an impact. They are @bamaquino, @cynthia_villar and @sonnyangara. Please tweet them: From 9th May to 23rd May (when the latest Senate session is in session): once a week From 23rd May until 10th June (when the Senate session ends): once a day
SUGGESTED MESSAGES:
To all: Torture is rife amongst the police force. Only one perpetrator has ever been convicted. #stoptorture in #Philippines. Pass the NPM bill.
I urge @bamaquino to #stoptorture in #Philippines. Pass the NPM bill.
.@bamaquino Pass the NPM bill and #stoptorture in #Philippines.
I urge @cynthia_villar to #stoptorture in #Philippines. Pass the NPM bill.
.@cynthia_villar Pass the NPM bill and #stoptorture in #Philippines.
I urge @sonnyangara to #stoptorture in #Philippines. Pass the NPM bill.
.@sonnyangara Pass the NPM bill and #stoptorture in #Philippines.
@bigmandrilon Pass the NPM bill and #stoptorture in #Philippines.
BACKGROUND
Torture at the hands of the police in the Philippines continues with alarming frequency while those responsible are almost always allowed to evade justice. Over a year after our report, Above the law: Police Torture in the Philippines was published, very little has changed – police torture is still rampant across the country with impunity, and only one perpetrator, police officer Jerick Dee Jimenez, has been convicted since the enactment of a landmark anti-torture law in 2009. As per its obligations under the Optional Protocol to the Convention Against Torture, the Philippines should have put the establishment of a National Preventative Mechanism (NPM) for torture in place by April 2013. A NPM bill is currently filed before the Senate and the Philippine government has an opportunity to pass this bill. It’s high time this is done. We are urging the Senate to immediately establish the NPM which is currently filed before both the Congress and Senate

Als Präsident der Philippinen muss Rodrigo Duterte die Menschenrechte schützen, nicht sie verweigern
Während der Wahlkampagne hat der jetzt gewählte Präsident der Philippinen Rodrigo Duterte eine Serie aufstachelnder Ankündigungen gemacht, die bei Verwirklichung die Philippinen in Konflikt mit ihren internationalen Menschenrechtsverpflichtungen bringen würden. Dazu gehört auch die Ankündigung, mutmaßliche Kriminelle einfach zu erschießen, um die Kriminalität zu bekämpfen. Als neuer Präsident aber müsse er aber den Zyklus der Menschenrechtsverletzungen durchbrechen, nicht die Menschenrechtslage verschlimmern.
Philippines: New President should break cycle of human rights violations, not compound them
10 May 2016, 18:23 UTC
If President-elect Rodrigo Duterte is serious about introducing change in the Philippines, he must turn his back on the history of human rights violations and end the prevailing culture of impunity, Amnesty International said today.
Rodrigo Duterte, the former Mayor of Davao city, is set to become the newly-elected President of the Philippines after leading the voting in the 9 May 2016 election.

Unverhältnismäßige Gewalt der philippinischen Nationalpolizei gegen Demonstranten in Kidapawan
Philippines: Ensure Accountability for Police Use of Excessive Force against Demonstrators
One week after the Kidapawan City protests in Mindanao, southern Philippines, the authorities must ensure accountability for the excessive use of force, including lethal force, by police during the violent dispersal of demonstrators.

Background
The Philippines has been gripped by a strong El Niño phenomenon with a dry spell since December which has hit food production, particularly in the Mindanao. This region is home to the country's poorest people and more than half of the population is reliant on rain fed agriculture. The farmers who had blockaded the national highway were demanding the release of 15,000 sacks of rice subsidy.
Hintergrund
Die große Dürre durch das Klimaphänomen El Niño hat die Bauern auf den Philippinen, insbesondere in Mindanao, hart getroffen. Die Ernten sind verdorrt. Die Region Cotabato um Kidapawan herum in Mindanao ist besonders hart betroffen. Die Bevölkerung ist arm und abhängig von der Landwirtschaft. Die Bauern, die die Nationalstraße dort blockiert haben, hatten die Regierung um eine Unterstützung von 15.000 Säcken Reis aus den staatlichen Vorratslagern gebeten.
