The recent massacre
of nine Indigenous Tumandok and the illegal arrest of 17
others in Capiz province in the Philippines two days before
2020 ends warrant our strongest condemnation!
The
International Indigenous Peoples Movement for
Self-Determination and Liberation (IPMSDL) and Katribu
National Alliance of Indigenous Peoples in the Philippines
strongly denounce this new spate of mass murder of leaders
of indigenous group TUMANDUK in a time when the world just
observed the International Human Rights Day. We call for
justice for all victims of Tumandok Massacre – TUMANDUK
heads Eliseo Gayas Jr. and Roy Giganto, as well as Mauro
Diaz, Arcelito Katipunan Sr., Mario Aguirre, Jomer Vidal,
