The Philippine authorities should immediately establish a clear and short timetable for an end to martial law in the countryrsquo;s restive Maguindanao province and dismantle armed paramilitary groups throughout the country, Amnesty International said in Manila today. br /
br /
Key human rights, including the right to challenge the legality of detention, must not be violated or restricted under any circumstances. br /
br /
On 5 December President Gloria M. Arroyo declared martial law in Maguindanao and suspended the writ of habeas corpus in the wake of the massacre of 57 people there, including more than 30 journalists. Andal Ampatuan, Jr., of the powerful Ampatuan clan that has dominated politics in Maguindanao for much of the past decade, was recently arrested and charged with the murders. br /
br /
ldquo;The people of Maguindanao are terrified of martial law because they remember the terrible violations that occurred during military control in the 1970s,rdquo; said Sam Zarifi, Amnesty Internationalrsquo;s Asia-Pacific director, who has just returned from Maguindanao. br /
br /
During its visit Amnesty International did not find indications so far of serious human rights violations by military personnel since the imposition of martial law.nbsp; nbsp;br /
br /
However, the military has arrested some 70 people without warrant. Moreover, the military deployment has prompted the displacement of more than 2,000 residents from areas of Maguindano province controlled by the Ampatuan clan. br /
br /
The recent insecurity has also hindered humanitarian assistance to tens of thousands of civilians displaced there due to previous clashes between the military and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF).nbsp; nbsp;br /
br /
ldquo;Every day of heavy military deployment increases the risk of human rights violations or new clashes with the MILF even as peace talks begin anew.rdquo; br /
br /
The Ampatuans reportedly controlled 3,000 to 4,000 armed men operating as part of Civilian Volunteer Organizations (CVOs) in conjunction with the militaryrsquo;s counter insurgency operations. Over the last several days army troops and police investigators have uncovered several caches of weapons, including hundreds of machine guns, mortar, and even armoured personnel carriers, supposedly used by the CVOs. br /
br /
ldquo;The CVOs in Maguindanao have engaged in systematic attacks on civilians, arson, and even murder, often with the knowledge and involvement of provincial authorities and the military. Powerful clans have used the CVOs against their political opponents, while the central government has often turned a blind eye.nbsp; In return the clans have helped the government in winning votes and fighting the MILF and the New Peoplersquo;s Army (NPA),rdquo; Zarifi said. br /
br /
Amnesty International called on President Gloria Arroyo to immediately revoke or amend Executive Order 546, implemented in 2006, which allowed the use of paramilitary ldquo;force multipliersrdquo; in counterinsurgency operations. Under the guise of CVOs and Civilian Armed Forces Geographical Unit Active Auxiliary (CAFGU SAAs), in practice local strongmen have used these forces as private armies. br /
br /
ldquo;The combination of the vaguely-worded Executive Order 546 and the way the government allowed it to be implemented was a recipe for disaster. Unfortunately but predictably this made the horrific massacre on 23 November possible,rdquo; Zarifi said. br /
br /
ldquo;The commission established last week by President Arroyo to investigate the dismantling of CVOs and CAFGU auxiliaries should act urgently to end the use ofnbsp; groups that are well-armed but poorly disciplined and unaccountable. We hope that the commission follows through with decisive action to disband the armed groups.rdquo; br /
br /
ldquo;International law recognizes that in some circumstances governments may have to resort to emergency regulations and measures. But some rights, such as the right to life, freedom from arbitrary detention, torture and ill-treatment, and the right to habeas corpus, can never be restricted. Any other restrictions must be limited to those absolutely necessary to the situation and must be lifted as soon as possible,rdquo; Zarifi said.

		<description><![CDATA[img src=http://www.amnesty.org/sites/impact.amnesty.org/files/imagecache/previewsize/sites/impact.amnesty.org/files/PUBLIC/Regions/ASA/philippines-body-50x400.jpg alt= title=  /br/The Philippine government must urgently ensure that witnesses are protected following the massacre of at least 57 people in Maguindanao province and safeguard vital forensic evidence to ensure those responsible are brought to justice, said Amnesty International. br /
br /
Datu Unsay Mayor Andal Ampatuan Jr, a member of the powerful Ampatuan family that has dominated local politics in Maguindanao province in the country's restive Mindanao region, is now under arrest and could face multiple murder charges. He has denied involvement. br /
br /
quot;One of the major stumbling blocks to justice for human rights violations in the Philippines has been the intimidation of witnesses, at times accompanied by bribes or other inducements,quot; said Donna Guest, deputy director of Amnesty International's Asia-Pacific programme. br /
br /
quot;Given the Ampatuan family's history of using private militias to maintain their dominance in Maguindanao, there is every reason to fear for the safety of witnesses and the protection of evidence.quot; br /
br /
Amnesty International pointed out that the inability of Philippines investigators to gather and process forensic and circumstantial evidence in prosecutions has led to an overreliance on eyewitness testimony. br /
br /
Media footage from the scene of the massacre shows little evidence of proper collection of forensic evidence. br /
br /
quot;The Philippine government has responded with encouraging speed and seriousness to this incident so far but they must demonstrate that they will put in place proper mechanisms to ensure there is transparent, credible accountability,quot; Guest said. br /
br /
quot;This case, which has shocked the country and the world, cannot end in impunity as the vast majority of cases of political killings have in the past.quot; br /
br /
Amnesty International called on the government of the Philippines to invite assistance from the international community in conducting the technical aspects of this investigation. br /
br /
The European Union and the Philippine government have recently signed an agreement to improve the quality of investigations and prosecutions of extrajudicial executions in the Philippines. br /
br /
Most witnesses are reported to lack confidence in the current witness protection program, and fear that, given prolonged delays in criminal proceedings, it will not be able to offer protection to them or their families which may be needed to extend over a number of years. br /
br /
In conjunction with lack of confidence in the impartiality of the police, fear of reprisals and a lack of an effective witness protection program, most investigations remain ineffective and fail to lead to the identification, arrest, trial and conviction of the perpetrators.]]></description>

br /
Many of the victims were relatives and supporters of an opposition politician who were travelling to register his candidacy in next yearrsquo;s provincial election. br /
br /
Amnesty International has been told that at least 12 journalists were also part of the group who were targeted. It is not known how many journalists were killed.br /
br /
They were ambushed and abducted by about 100 armed men, according to reports.br /
br /
The death toll from the attack rose on Tuesday after more bodies were found in shallow graves. A state of emergency has been declared in Maguindanao to allow police to search for the gunmen.br /
br /
quot;These killings underline the danger facing civilians in the run up to the national elections. The authorities must immediately launch an independent and effective investigation into these murders and ensure that they do all they can to prevent killings and other violence,quot; said Donna Guest, Deputy Asia Pacific Director, Amnesty International. br /
br /
The sister and the wife Esmael Mangudadatu, vice mayor of Buluan town, were among those attacked. br /
br /
The province of Maguindanao witnessed widespread election violence during previous polls. br /
br /
Private armies, often employed by rich and politically influential families in Mindanao, have previously committed abuses with impunity. br /
br /
quot;The government must prohibit and disband private armies and paramilitary forces immediately. The authorities should also establish clear standards on human rights protection and ensure their implementation, particularly during the election period when politically-motivated killings could increase.quot; said Donna Guest. br /]]></description>
