Primer on Political Killings

The cause-oriented group Bagong Alyansang Makabayan has just released a primer on the killings of political activists, human-rights advocates, and members or leaders of labor unions across the country.

Since 2005, Bayan said, �there has been a drastic leap in the number of activists killed under the Arroyo regime.� Many questions, it said, �have been raised on the nature, pattern, reasons and perpetrators of the killings,� hence the primer.

1. Is there a national trend or pattern in the killing of activists under the Arroyo regime?

2. Who exactly are the victims of extra-judicial killings?

3. Who are the perpetrators?

4. Who must account for these killings?

5. Why are the activists being killed?

6. What can we do?
