From the Visayan Daily Star (Jan 23): Bayan stages
protest vs. ‘fabricated raps’
A vigil protest was staged yesterday by members of progressive organizations
under the Bagong Alyansang Makabayan at the Fountain of Justice in Bacolod City
to condemn what they called the rampant filing of fabricated charges against its
leaders, Christian Tuayon of Bayan-Negros, said yesterday. Tuayon who was among the 52 persons implicated in the killing of an Army
lieutenant in Cadiz City two years ago, said the theme of the vigil is
“Kampuhan: People’s Vigil Against Political Repression.”
This is their first protest this year and it will also serve as the opening
salvo of various activities and their continued efforts to call for justice for
human rights violations, he said. The vigil is joined by members of Bayan, National Federation of Sugar
Workers, Kilusang Magbubukidng Pilipinas, Kilusang Mayo Uno, Karapatan, and
Promotion of Church and People's Response.

CPP front groups come to the defense of one of their own. BAYAN (New Patriotic Alliance) is the main CPP umbrella front organization in the Philippines. KMU (May One Movement), KMP (Peasant Movement of the Philippines), Karapatan, and PCPR are all member organizations of BAYAN.
