free thomas van beersum - philippines government expells him.


El gobierno reaccionario de Filipinas expulso al activista holandes Thomas Van Beersum que fue detenido el pasado martes depues de participar en una manifestaciĆ³n contra la politica gubernamental.
El camaradas, un conocido defensor de la causa del pueblo filipino, fue detenido por agentes de inmigraciĆ³n acusado de actuar contra la seguridad del Estado. Diversas organizaciones populares de Filipinas y del resto del mundo habian reclamado su puesta en libertad.


UPDATE FROM THOMAS

Am now in Hong Kong waiting for my flight back to Amsterdam. I was not allowed to board my plane and to go back to my country yesterday morning. I got detained for about 30 hours at the airport just so the immigration officials could deport me. This harassment is obviously done to distract the people from the actual problems that the country faces, such as the almost total domination of its econom...y by foreign capitalists and the complicity of comprador puppets such as Aquino. And let's not forget the human rights abuses under Aquino's administration either. So far there have been 142 documented cases of extrajudicial killing and 164 frustrated killing; 16 incidents of enforced disappearance; 76 cases of torture and 293 cases of illegal arrest and detention.

I want to thank the people and groups that have been supporting me and although I've been blacklisted, I will still firmly support the just struggle of the Filipino people for social and national liberation. Mabuhay
