Many of you may have heard about the arrest of Prof. Jose Maria Sison, but have many questions answered regarding this case. Please join us at this FREE forum to learn more about the unjust arrest and detention of Prof. Jose Maria Sison.
FREEDOM FOR JOSE MARIA SISON!!!On the morning of August 28, Philippine revolutionary leader Jose Maria Sison was arrested in the Netherlands on trumped-up charges. Sison has been the leading figure of the Philippine national democratic movement for more than 40 years. He was the most prominent political prisoner under the U.S.-supported Marcos dictatorship. Due to serious threats on his life, Sison and his family were forced into exile in the Netherlands twenty years ago. By targetting Sison, the Philippines, Dutch, and U.S. governments are trying to deflect attention from the assassination of over 900 Filipino political activists by military death squads over the past six years.
Sison is currently the Chief Political Consultant of the underground National Democratic Front of the Philippines, and Chairperson of the International League of Peoples' Struggle (ILPS), an anti-imperialist alliance of 325 mass organizations from over 40 countries.
Come and learn about Jose Maria Sison and the implications of his arrest for the worldwide struggle against imperialism. The program will feature a video with recent and archival footage of this courageous fighter for the people.
