The Commission on Human Rights is alarmed with the killing of Randy Malayao, an activist and known peace consultant of the National Democratic Front of the Philippines. His death comes at a time when voices of opposition and human rights groups are tagged as enemies, making them possible subjects of assaults.
As it is necessary to know the truth, CHR-Region II shall be investigating the case in recognition of the primacy of a person’s right to life and in helping make perpetrators accountable for this crime.
