Violating Rep. Satur Ocampo's right to due process and disregardingthe Supreme Court's order to maintain the status quo until the March23 oral argument over Satur's petition, Philippine police woke up Rep.Satur and his wife at 3 a.m. this morning (March19), informing Satur that hewould be brought to Leyte, where fabricated murder charges were filedagainst him.
At around 4:30 a.m., the police dragged Satur out of the Manila PoliceDistrict and into their van bound for the domestic airport.As of this moment, Rep.

Satur and his family fears for his safety, as there is noguarantee that he would not be harmed on the trip going to Leyte, orin his awaiting detention in the far flung town of the province.

This is really rediculous. The government of the Republic of the Philippines is making out of itself a laughing stock in the world politics by imprisoning Satur Ocampo a confirmed staunced critic of the government.
The charges are fabricated and the man is innocent. This is a case of pure harrassment.
I want to call the government of the Philippines to free Satur Ocampo and end the Political Killings in that country.

The current Government of the Philippines answers the repression by doing this politicaly higher ranking executives motivated harassement especially to those who creticise thier negative acts, e.q putting politicians self interest rather than to serve the interest of the masses, money matters corruption from the peoples tax money, more on militarization on the countryside rather than to give priority to educate them on how to live and make thier own business by giving them small amount of capital based on thier expertise and training rather what are happening now is funding the military to supress and the Peoples Democratic Rights.
I am personally thankfull that thier are still People who are untired doing, serving the People, looking to give them courage and always on the side to support.
The current system of Government is hammered by so many truth controversies, illigitimacy, corruption, being untrue to people, family dynasty in politics, murder and others. Its a continues process for us that this Government shows no shame on Local and International pressures.
Fight the current system!
Stop the Killings!
Stop the Corruption!
