16 years on, Maguindanao massacre victims’ kin, media still seek justice
Sixteen years after the Maguindanao massacre, where 58 people, including 32 journalists, were killed in the worst election-related violence in Philippine history, the victims' families and the media continue to struggle for justice.
The Center for International Law (CenterLaw) plans to file an urgent motion before the Court of Appeals (CA) to expedite the resolution of pending appeals in the massacre cases and to judicially recognize journalist Reynaldo Momay as the 58th victim.
The National Union of Journalists of the Philippines (NUJP) and the Presidential Task Force on Media Security (PTFOMS) expressed support for the families seeking resolution of the pending appeals, including the recognition of Momay and the damages sought by his heirs.
PTFOMS pledged to work with all stakeholders to ensure due process and pursue accountability for those responsible.
