Asesinato de pueblos indígenas en Filipinas: violaciones flagrantes de los derechos humanos prosiguen

The statement denounces the December 3, 2017, killing of Datu Victor Danyan and seven community members in South Cotabato, Philippines, by government forces. It links these violence to conflicts over ancestral territories invaded by the Consunji company for mining and coffee plantations, arguing that the judicial system fails to protect indigenous rights against corporate interests.

• On December 3, 2017, the Philippine armed forces killed Datu Victor Danyan, two of his children, his son-in-law, and four other community members in their ancestral territory in Lake Sebu, South Cotabato.
• The Consunji company has invaded ancestral territories to establish coffee plantations and exploit mines, with a 25-year permit for coffee plantations extended in 2016 through judicial manipulation and without the free, prior, and informed consent of the T’boli-Manobo communities.
• The Philippine government and military have attempted to justify the killings by labeling Datu Victor as a communist insurgent, despite his history of using peaceful and legal means since 1991 to seek reparations for corporate land grabbing.
• The killings are presented as a failure of the Philippine judicial system and the Indigenous Peoples' Rights Act (IPRA) to protect indigenous peoples from corporate interests.
