A human rights group said Thursday it is alarmed by the continuous attacks on peasant workers in Hacienda Yulo in Laguna and Isabela.
Karapatan made the statement following the reported threats, harassment, and arrests being experienced by farmers in these areas.
“Like the majority of the populace, what they need most now is assistance, support, and ultimately, the right to land and life. However, there has been no letup from life-threatening attacks they experience, whether from State forces or armed security and goons of local landlords,” Karapatan Secretary General Cristina Palabay said.
Palabay was referring to the accounts posted by Defend Yulo Farmers on Facebook which said that attacks by armed men against Hacienda Yulo farmers in Sitio Buntog in Barangay Canlubang have escalated.
