The rescued Lumad student continues to urge for the reversal of the unjust conviction of Talaingod 13.
The child-focused group noted there was an estimate of 10,000 IP students in Mindanao who were affected after the discontinuation of over 200 Lumad schools, which were built by non-government organizations, IP communities, and church workers.
“The case faced by the Talaingod 13 is a clear example of how the law is being used to suppress the rights of Indigenous Peoples who only wish to live peacefully on their land. We have also witnessed how solidarity with others has been criminalized."
