Dear Human Rights Advocates and Defenders,

#RememberML@40!
A march to inform, inspire, remember the people’s struggles against Martial Law
Join us this Monday (May 21, 2012)
@ 7a.m. – 9 a.m.
Camp Crame – Camp Aguinaldo

The families of Martial Law victims andHuman Rights Defenders will gather to Inform, Inspire and to Remember Martial Law 40 years after it was first declared on September 21, 1972 by the ousted Dictator Ferdinand Marcos.

In time with the forthcoming International Week for Commemoration of Desaparecidos, (May 28-June 3) we remember those who are victims of enforced disappearance during the dim ML days and continue to struggle for those who are also victims after.

This activity is a continuation of our national campaign to Remember ML @ 40. Every 21st of the month, from March 21 until September 21 of this year, we shall strive to have our country’s younger generation remember the dark years of the martial law period through sharing of experiences of struggles and a march.

The overall aim of this campaign is to compel the Philippine Congress to urgently pass the Compensation Bill for Victims of Human Rights Violation almost three decades after the Marcos Dictatorship was forcefully terminated through a successful People’s Power Uprising on February 25, 1986.
