PREGNANT WOMEN, ELDERLY NOT SPARED IN FASCIST ATTACKS
GABRIELA Women's Partylist Representative Liza Largoza Maza today
condemned the escalating fascist attacks that included pregnant and
old women.
Reports from Human Rights Group from the Vizayas said among those
killed in Palo Massacre included Eufemia Borra, 51 year old and
Alma Bartoline, who was seven months pregnant.
In another incident, former Chairperson of the League of Filipino
Students (LFS) from Central Luzon State University, Maribel
Supera , 5 months pregnant, was found killed with her husband in
Nueva Ecija.
"These incidents are heinous considering that even the United
Nations passed a resolution (UN Resolution 1325) expressing
concerns that civilians, particularly women and children, account
for the vast majority of those adversely affected by armed
conflict." Maza said. "This resolution reaffirms the need to
implement fully international humanitarian and human rights law that
protects the rights of women and girls during and after conflicts."
"We hold President Arroyo responsible for these heinous political
killings. Had she become hardened like the common criminal? Bilang
babae, kilabutan naman siya at pati mga buntis ay binibiktima." Maza
said.
Maza further said that massacres and killings are politically
motivated and are prime examples of state terrorism. "As Commander
in Chief, she has coddled criminals like Col. Jovito Palparan who
has spawned clones across the country. The perpetrators of the
massacre, members of the 19th IB remain unrepentant and are now
spewing lies."
The Gabriela Solon joined calls for the immediate pull out of troops
in Eastern Vizayas as she demanded justice for the victims of the
massacre. ##
