This February 7 marks six years since the arbitrary arrest of Alexander Philip “Chakoy” Abinguña, Frenchie Mae Cumpio, Marielle Domequil, Mira Legion, and Marissa Cabaljao, collectively known as the hashtag .

Promoted by our member hashtag , this sign-on statement calls for an end to judicial harassment, fabricated charges, and the weaponization of counter-terrorism laws to silence dissent, attack press freedom, and criminalize humanitarian and media work in the Philippines.

Three of the Tacloban 5 remain behind bars after years of detention and trumped-up cases, reflecting a broader pattern of repression affecting nearly 700 political prisoners in the country.

✊🏽 We demand:
• Free the Tacloban 5
• Dismiss all trumped-up charges
• Free Abinguña, Cumpio, and Domequil
• Free all political prisoners
