Karapatan Central Luzon said that Francisco “Eco” Dangla III and Axielle “Jak” Tiong were “savagely mauled” and “dragged” into a waiting vehicle around 8 p.m. on Sunday in Barangay Polo in San Carlos City.
MANILA, Philippines — Two environmental defenders were reportedly abducted in Pangasinan, marking the latest attack against green activists, groups said.
“Both are staunch and consistent defenders who vocally defended the people and ecosystems of Pangasinan against the harms of coal-fired power plants, nuclear power plants, incinerator plants, and offshore mining in Lingayen Gulf,” Kalikasan People’s Network for the Environment said. “This incident serves as further evidence of the dangers of red-tagging, primarily perpetrated by the state and its rabid military forces,” Advocates of Science and Technology for the People said.
Castro and Tamano were then slapped with a grave oral defamation case after state prosecutors indicted them for “embarrassing and putting in bad light.”
