L’assassinat de personnes autochtones se poursuit aux Philippines, tout comme les graves violations des droits humains

Friends of the Earth International denounces the December 3, 2017, killing of Datu Victor Danyan and seven others in South Cotabato, Philippines. The statement links these killings to the struggle of the T’boli-Manubo Sdaf Claimants Organization (TAMASCO) against land grabbing by Consunji-owned companies for coffee plantations and coal mining. It criticizes the Philippine government's failure to protect indigenous rights and its use of 'communist' labels to justify military violence.

• On December 3, 2017, the Philippine armed forces killed Datu Victor Danyan and seven members of his family and community on their ancestral territory in Lake Sebu, South Cotabato.
• The T’boli-Manubo Sdaf Claimants Organization (TAMASCO) is resisting the encroachment of Consunji-owned companies, which are developing coal mines and coffee plantations on ancestral lands.
• A 25-year initial operating permit for a coffee plantation, which expired in 2016, was extended through legal manipulations without the free, prior, and informed consent of the T’boli-Manobo communities.
• The killings occurred shortly after the Duterte government suspended peace talks with the Communist Party of the Philippines and initiated a crackdown on suspected communist rebels, leading the army to label Datu Victor as a communist despite his history of peaceful legal struggle since 1991.
