"ladies and gentlemen, the massacre in Maguindanao occurred in 2009 and the victims, who were on their way to file a certificate of candidacy for the deputy mayor of the city of Buluan, were kidnapped and brutally murdered – 58 people in total including the wife of the would-be candidate, his sisters, 35 journalists and lawyers, assistants and drivers. The most incredible thing is that until now justice has not been able to take its course, due to the country’s justice system’s lack of independence and the lack of progress in the cases already underway. Twenty-five indictments are pending against Andal Ampatuan, considered to be behind the massacre, who was seen to direct the assassins towards those innocent people. However, his family is powerful in the region and therefore few people would be inclined to testify against him in court. Today we call for the perpetrators who are still at liberty to be brought to justice, for the Philippines to ratify the international convention and for its government to change the law so as to ensure full respect for human rights in the country."@en1
