An appeal to stop slaughter
On May 21, the Asian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) has issued a general appeal asking the concerned government agencies–particularly the police and local government–to take effective and adequate measures to prevent the slaughters of criminal suspects and robbery victims in General Santos City.
Though these murders had been going on unabated, the gravity of these brutal murders has, so far, fails to provoke any strong condemnation that would perhaps result to any concrete actions.
Even the police and the local officials had been either unwilling or unable to deal with these.
You can help support this appeal through this automated appeals system, or send letters, fax or call the concerned government offices directly.
