  • Sheyla Mungia Carrazco, journalist<br />
<br />
"Since December I started getting insults from the soldiers when they saw me reporting from demonstrations, and one of the military chiefs was saying things like ‘Sheyla, there’s lots of other jobs you could do, resign from this job, get another’. <br />
<br />
One day we saw the cameraman from another TV station being beaten by the soldiers, and they broke his camera. I told my cameraman to film it, the soldiers said that if we filmed it the same would happen to us. <br />
<br />
I went to report on the arrest of a protestor, one of many arrests I've tried to report on, I’ve been prevented from doing these interviews by the Army before. I didn’t have my cameraman with me, so I was filming it myself, and a soldier hit me with a baton and I dropped my microphone, when I bent to pick it up all the soldiers surrounded me and started groping and hitting me, there were about 30 soldiers, they all had balaclavas on. I’ve made official complaints about this, but the soldiers can’t be identified.<br />
<br />
My family tell me to leave this job, they’re afraid.<br />
<br />
The TV channel I work for, Prensa Libre, is now under a legal threat of losing ownership, it will probably go to an owner that favours the government. We’re the last channel giving opposition views in the region."

  • I’m Reina Isabal Calix, I’m a survivor of the massacre of Santa Clara and Horcones. The massacre happened on the 25 June 1975. There was a plan by landowners and military, Coronel Chinchilla. They confused work for the common good with work for communism. We were working for the common good. They prepared to crush us. We were a group of religious people, priests, farmers, women. We were struggling for agrarian reform. All we really wanted was for people to have enough land to plant food for themselves, to have their daily bread, for their children and families. We were united, teachers, poor farmers, young people, students, workers, priests. It was a big struggle, but they wanted to crush it. <br />
<br />
There was a Colombian priest here called Ivan Betancourt. There was also an American priest called Casimiro Zypher. They were both killed too, along with the campesinos and students. <br />
<br />
At that time, speaking about the common good, was like promoting communism. There was a plan, to destroy everything we were doing and slow down the agrarian reform. <br />
<br />
We had a shop, radiofonica school, they killed the person who ran it. We used to train carpenters and mechanics here.<br />
<br />
We planned a march, 5000 people came. They couldn’t stop it. But, the soldiers came in here using students as a cover, it was a trick. Three people died right here, in the centre. <br />
<br />
Others were taken to the prison. Father Casimiro died being tortured during interrogation. Later they took them to a farm, and most were killed there, they threw the bodies down a well. Fourteen people were killed.

  • Jimmy Randolfo Aguilar lay on a hospital bed in the emergency room of Choluteca hospital, beaten by a reportedly large group of soldiers during a demonstration against fraud in the elections, sources said he died from his injuries later that night.<br />
<br />
In a letter shared with the photographer, emergency room staff in the same hospital were instructed to make a special report of anyone with injuries related to tear gas, baton beatings or bullet wounds likely to have been inflicted by armed forces or police. <br />
<br />
Human rights groups are documenting many cases of people being taken from their homes by military units at night, after taking part in demonstrations. It is repeatedly claimed by victims and human rights groups that profiles of protestors adn opposition activists are provided to the authorities by their neighbours who work on government programmes like Vida Mejor (Better Life), and the presumption is that they are obliged to provide this information on their neighbours. Army then arrive at night and call opposition members out by their names and nicknames - and use force to gain entry if they don’t come out.

  • Sylvia Denota, indigenous Lumad from Mindanao (centre)<br />
<br />
"I came here to Manila from Mindanao in 2017. We came because of Martial Law, the militarisation in our communities and our schools were closed, we had to evacuate and come here. <br />
<br />
I was in an evacuation centre [in Mindanao] with my parents since 2015, we still can’t go back home because of the militarisation, the area is closed, schools are closed.<br />
<br />
We were planning to go back in April, but the place is still full of soldiers, military, so we don’t know what will happen, we are afraid, but we want to go home.<br />
<br />
My parents are in the evacuation centre still. The military come and go as they please, they go into where you live without warning.<br />
<br />
Many people have been arrested, accused of being NPA, they are sometimes released after a couple of weeks, they have no evidence<br />
<br />
We invite people to visit, to see with their own eyes what is happening to us Lumads in Bukidnon."

  • interview with Kerlan Fenagal continued from previous image caption...<br />
<br />
"In one instance recently, two of our tribal leaders, Dionel Campos and Aurelio Sinzo, were killed in front of all their community in Surigao del Sur, the paramilitaries woke everyone up in the village very early in the morning, going into their houses to get them outside. More than 200 people including children were there, and they executed them in front of everybody. That morning they also killed the director of the agricultural school, one of the Lumad schools there, they slit his throat. This is all linked to coal mining. That same day, while they brought the dead bodies down to the evacuation centre, they did the ground-breaking for coal mining. Everyone from that area evacuated the same day, in fear for their lives.<br />
<br />
67,000 hectares are targeted for coal mining. Ten coal mining companies are applying for concessions to mine. <br />
<br />
The attacks are intensifying. They are closing our Lumad schools, they have already closed 86 of our schools. When we asked the soldiers why, they told us that the orders are coming from Malacañang (the presidential palace).<br />
<br />
If you resist, if you are lucky they can trump up charges against you, or they can just kill you.<br />
<br />
We have only two types of land under Philippine law, private land and public land. There is no provision for ancestral domains, for our collective ownership and land management. This legal inadequacy makes it easy for them to take our land, to sell concessions for logging and mining on our ancestral domains. It is easy for them to force us out legally. They have already given a lot of our land to mining corporations and commodity producers, for palm oil, bananas. They are destroying our beautiful rainforest and mountains, our beautiful people."

  • Jesús López, 17. Gangster. "I was sentenced to four and a half years prison for extortion. I've been inside for seven months and 17 days. I'll get out when I'm 22.When I was nine years old I used to go to a church called the Ministry of God's Beloved. But I had to work at that age, to survive economically. But it was hard at home, there were many problems, and I decided to leave home. My aunts would fight over the food, and well, they weren't my parents, and I didn't want to obey them, so I left, and I joined the gang. At ten years old I was taking drugs. I began murdering at age 12. I would kill kids of my own age, to keep in with the gang. In the gang that's something that's normal. When I was 14 I began stealing cars, carrying weapons, but by 16 I got into extortion, I would distribute people across neighbourhoods in Tegucigalpa to carry out the extortions. One of my children died, and my life went further out of control, I did more and more in the gang. I am here in this centre, and I'm trying to get some of the shit out of my head. I want to study, and maybe become a soldier. Before, you could leave the gang if you joined an evangelical church, but the gang is evolving, and now you can't leave unless you are dead. I'm alive, I'm still breathing, and I'm asking God for another chance."
