CPP asserts revolution is not terrorism, says ‘terror tag’ sets the stage for further repression
By RONALYN V. OLEA
MANILA – On its 52nd anniversary, the Communist Party of the Philippines slammed the Anti-Terrorism Council for designating the revolutionary group and the New People’s Army (NPA) as terrorist organizations.
In a statement sent to the media, the CPP rejected the label, saying the ATC’s move “is a precursor for heightened fascist suppression against the broad democratic forces which are being red-baited and persecuted for fighting Duterte’s tyrannical rule and schemes to perpetuate the Duterte political dynasty.”
