Youth group reiterates calls to junk Anti-Terror Law

(AFP / MANILA BULLETIN) President Rodrigo Duterte signed into law the Anti-Terrorism Act of 2020 on July 3. The law took effect on July 18. In a statement, YACAP called the Anti-Terror Law an “unconstitutional attempt of the state to silence their critics.” “With its vague definitions of ‘terrorism’ as a whole, environmental defenders and activists can easily be tagged and manipulated as terrorists, leading to their illegal detention, and even their deaths,” the youth-led alliance said. According to YACAP, in Duterte’s first three years in office, a total of 199 land and environmental defenders were killed. In 2019, 49 more environmental defenders were killed, while 500 cases of human rights abuses were recorded in 2020.
