State fascism:
Death of journalists

Basahin ang artikulong ito sa Pilipino

Amnesty International (AI) has called for an investigation of the murder of three Filipino journalists. AI expressed concern over the violation of journalists' human rights in the Philippines.

AI wants to look into the deaths of Benjaline Hernandez, Edgar Damalerio and Sonny Alcantara. It also called for the protection of their families, friends and other people involved in the cases.

Hernandez headed the Mindanao chapter of the College Editors' Guild of the Philippines (CEGP) when Army soldiers killed her in April 2002. She was then doing research about military abuses. Damalerio was a radio commentator and editor of a local newspaper in Zamboanga when a police officer shot him. According to the investigation, the police officer was angered by an article written by Damalerio about corruption. Alcantara was gunned down in August after he criticized a local official in San Pablo, Laguna.
