CALL FOR DONATIONS:
Bail, welfare and logistical fund support needed for protesters arrested during anti-corruption protests in the Philippines
KARAPATAN, a national human rights alliance based in the Philippines, and the International Coalition for Human Rights in the Philippines (ICHRP) are appealing for donations to provide urgent support for bail, welfare and logistical needs of persons arrested during and after the anti-corruption protests in the Philippines. All funds raised will go towards supporting these needs. Since the violent acts of the police against the protesters on September 21, KARAPATAN has been providing on-the-ground support to the arrested protesters and their families.
On September 21 in Mendiola, the entrance to the president’s Palace, hundreds of mostly young and urban poor protesters were met with brutal acts of dispersal from the police. According to the Manila Police District (Philippine National Police), at least 216 people were arbitrarily arrested and detained. Many of them are reportedly injured from police beatings. At least 91 are minors, including a nine (9) year old boy. Also among those arrested are persons with disabilities (PWD), including persons with psychosocial disabilities. The arrested persons who are injured likewise need immediate medical attention.
The International Coalition for Human Rights in the Philippines stands in full solidarity with the Filipino people who went out of the streets on September 21, 2025, marking the 53rd anniversary of the declaration of Martial Law under Ferdinand Marcos Sr., to demand accountability and an end to the Marcos Jr. regime’s corruption and repression.
