Hi all,


I've just received a solidarity request from our friends in the Philippines. Last year, Venecia 'Inday' Nattinga was murdered by gunmen at the behest of a local police officer who had a problem with her campaigning on land reform and food sovereignty. However, the case is still yet to be officially filed due to the maneuverings of the suspects.   


They have asked that we lobby the Philippines Embassy in Britain to bring attention to this and other cases of human rights violations in the Philippines.


I'm also attaching a draft letter that can be used as a template.


Best,


J.
