FILIPINO PEASANTS SUPPORT
PROF. JOSE MARIA SISON'S STRUGGLE
FOR HIS RIGHTS AS A POLITICAL REFUGEE
PROF. JOSE MARIA SISON OR JMS IS A SPARK TO THE FILIPINO PEOPLE'S
MOVEMENT. His works have guided the countless peasants in struggling for
Genuine Land Reform. The fruits of victorious peasant struggle has been
steered by JMS' rigorous study of Filipino society, feudalism and agrarian
struggle. The peasant movement benefited from his sacrifices.
Thus, we from the KILUSANG MAGBUBUKID NG PILIPINAS (KMP, PEASANT
MOVEMENT OF THE PHILIPPINES), vow to support his struggle for his rights
as a political refugee, particularly his right to residence in The Netherlands,
his benefits and right to work and practice his profession. JMS is a revolutionary
and not a terrorist, he is human and should not be treated as an animal.
We will encourage our 15 regional chapters and 65 provincial chapters to
support the JMS' struggle. We will also coordinate with our international
partners such as the peasant organizations under Asian Peasant Coalition
(APC) to drum up the issue of JMS and gather more and broader support.
We call on the government of The Netherlands and its embassy in the
Philippines to stop persecuting Prof. Jose Maria Sison. The Dutch government
should provide what is due to a political refugee in good faith of protection
and promotion human rights. It should not succumb to the pressure of US
Imperialism which is the root of all poverty and hardship in the world. Prof.
Sison is a revolutionary, activist, poet, peace-maker, human rights defender
and advocate of social justice. He struggles because not for himself but to
transform Philippine society into a developed one. He struggles for Genuine
Land Reform because feudalism or landlord control and monopoly over vast
lands is long overdue and should be abolished. He is the opposite of US
Imperialism which exists to rake up massive profits, depriving majority of
the people of the world of humane and decent well-being. He deserves
the rights of a political refugee and the Dutch Government should immediately
provide it for him.
PROF. JOSE MARIA SISON CAN REST ASSURE THAT THE FILIPINO PEASANT
MOVEMENT SHALL SUPPORT HIS CAUSE. JMS struggle is a struggle of the
Filipino peasant movement. We will never forget what he has done for the
benefit of the Filipino peasants.
LONG LIVE PROF. JOSE MARIA SISON!
STRUGGLE FOR PROF. JOSE MARIA SISON'S HUMAN RIGHTS AND JUSTICE!
SUPPORT PROF. JOSE MARIA SISON'S CAMPAIGN FOR BASIC RIGHTS OF A
POLITICAL REFUGEE!
STRUGGLE FOR GENUINE LAND REFORM!
