JUSTICE FOR THE VOICELESS DEAD! ARREST BATO NOW!
The Supreme Court’s denial of Senator Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa’s plea to stop his possible arrest by the International Criminal Court (ICC) marks an important step in dismantling the culture of impunity that has long shielded perpetrators of extrajudicial killings, and in pursuing the long and painful struggle for justice for the thousands of victims.
No amount of legal maneuvering by Bato dela Rosa can erase the bloodshed that happened. No procedural argument can silence the cries for justice from the families left behind. It is therefore both morally urgent and historically necessary that the processes of the ICC be fully enforced and allowed to proceed without obstruction.
