More than 6,000 individuals led by the Kilusang Mayo Uno protested at the University of the Philippines in Diliman, Quezon City on November 30. They demanded for safety, jobs and respect for human rights.

They opposed the regime’s continuing red-tagging campaign and Anti-Terror Law which are being used to suppress its critics. They noted that military officials utilized the Senate hearing on November 24 to peddle false information and lies about legitimate democratic organizations and Congress representatives.
