CPP: Aquino's Marcos-style cover-up of human rights violations

Ang Bayan statement posted to the CPP Website (Nov 8): Aquino's Marcos-style cover-up of human rights violations

Aquino recently responded insolently to a flood of complaints on human rights violations by armed agents of the state by dismissing the growing cases of state violence against the people as nothing but “Leftist propaganda.” He even pervertedly accused the people of “violating the human rights of the military and police” by citing as an example urban poor residents throwing stones at demolition teams escorted by state agents armed with guns, teargas and truncheons. In making such dismissive statements, Aquino has shown his fascist and antipeople character, his utter insensitivity to the sentiments and cries for justice of the families of victims of extrajudicial killings, enforced disappearance and other violations of human rights perpetrated by the state. Aquino manifested his gross disregard for worsening human rights abuses by state forces only days after soldiers of the 27th IB massacred the Capion family in Davao del Sur. Aquino’s denials remind us of how the former dictator Ferdinand Marcos propagated the lie that there were no political prisoners, when up to 70,000 people were imprisoned under martial law....
