of Gabriela Women's Party today as the Supreme Court holds oral
arguments on the case of multiple murders charged against Bayan Muna
Representative Satur Ocampo.
"We hope that the Supreme Court would see not only the idiocy of
fabricated charges against Ka Satur but the evil intentions behind
these moves and stand against it by dismissing the charges," added
Maza.
Maza also called on all freedom-loving women to band together and
defend the people's democratic rights. "Now is the perfect time for
the Gabrielas to stand together with the rest of the people and
immediately end the Arroyo government shameless and flagrant violation
of the democratic rights of the people."
The solon also said that all candidates seeking public office,
especially the senatorial-hopefuls, should make clear their stand on
political repression and persecution. "A candidate's record and
commitment to fight for civil liberties will be among the criteria
women will use to judge them. This would spell their victory or loss
in the coming elections."###
