House Deputy Minority Leader and Bayan Muna Rep. Satur C. Ocampo today submitted a four-page complaint to a United Nations special rapporteur pertaining to his arrest and detention on the basis of trumped-up multiple-murder charges.
Lawyers for detained Bayan Muna Rep. Satur C. Ocampo are prepared to
appear before the Supreme Court tomorrow at 1:00 pm at the tribunal’s
session hall at Padre Faura, Manila for oral arguments on the

and murder charge leveled against him.
Below is the speech of a Australian Senator delivered before the Federal Parliament that criticizes the arrest and detention of Bayan Muna Rep. Satur C. Ocampo. The lawmaker is demanding an explanation from the Australian foreign ministry on the situation in the Philippines, and the case of Ocampo and unresolved political killings.

The Arroyo government’s handling of the case of Bayan Muna congressman Satur Ocampo has backfired. That’s according to the many commentary and opinion pieces that have been written since Ocampo was arrested, shoved into a van and then into a Leyte-bound plane while Filipinos were asleep.
Who is Satur Ocampo and why is the Arroyo regime hellbent on throwing him behind bars?
