STOP THE OPPRESSIVE POLICY AGAINST PROF. JOSE MARIA SISON

We from Cebraspo congratulate Prof. Jose Maria Sison for
winning last 30 September 2009 the favorable judgment
of the European Court of First Instance (ECFI) in his complaint
against the Council of the European Union (EU) for having
unjustly put him on the terrorist blacklist since 28 October
2002. The European Court annulled all decisions and a regulation
of the Council of the European Union (EU) that had maintained
Prof. Sison in its so-called terrorist blacklist. But
the Council of the EU might still decide to make a frivolous
appeal, if only to delay and deny the justice that Prof. Sison deserves.
Jomas legal victory must be celebrated by all of us that struggle
for democracy, justice and peoples liberation. This is an occasion
for renew the efforts to demand that the Dutch government
and Council of the EU stop being a party to false charges against
him and being complicit with the Philippine and US governments
in his political persecution.
We demand that the Council of EU and the Dutch government
as well as the Philippine and US governments stop their oppressive
policy against Prof. Sison. This oppressive policy is maliciously based
on false charges of terrorism and common crimes supplied by the
Philippine government under
the prodding of the US government.We salute Prof. Sison and
extend to his family our greetings of solidarity.
We demand that, concomitant with stopping the oppressive
policy against Prof. Sison, all governments concerned must
remove him from any terrorist blacklist and must respect his
human rights. He must be able to render professional services
with remuneration. His social benefits must be
restored. He must be able to make financial transactions. He
must have residence permit. He must be able to travel freely.
He must be able to claim moral and material damages for all the
years that he has been oppressed.
We salute Prof. Sison for his struggle and extend our warmest
greetings of solidarity to his family.
