Luque’s Friends Express Support

Dozens of activists show up during a forum on political rights and civil liberties on Wednesday to show their support to Alvin Luque, former secretary-general of Bayan in Southern Mindanao who is being hounded with rebellion charges by the military. Luque, who is now assigned in Northern Mindanao, vowed to fight back and clear his name. His friends in Davao City, some of them also facing charges filed by the government, said they do not expect a fair trial. (davaotoday.com photo by Barry Ohaylan)
