The Communist Party of the Philippines went through a deep crisis in 1992. Since then, its leadership sentenced to death and ordered the assassination of former leaders of the party and of activists from other Left organizations. This policy raised many protests, in the Philippines as well as internationally. You will find under this heading a very complete dossier on this matter.
We are publishing the polemical documents of the CPP-NDF-NPA, but more than reluctantly. Indeed, they are full of slanderous accusations against activists. We would have prefered not to contribute to spread such slanders. Nevertheless, these documents are indispensable for understanding the ongoing polemics. Thus, we resigned ourselves to post them on our website.
Denis Rogatyuk’s Interview with José Mariá Sison is remarkable for what it does not address. Among the issues the article ignores are the Communist Party of the Philippines’ history of killing its leftist critics, and Sison’s part in this policy of murder.
Officially, Jose Maria Sison has no (...)

Even if less publicised than few years ago, the CPP-NDF-NPA maintains its policy of death threats against other sectors of the Philippine Left. This is true in many provinces from Mindanao and the Visayas to Luzon. For exemple, the three recent cases related below.
On November 30, 2007, a (...)
Vicente Ferrazini was gunned down in Davao (Mindanao) by an NPA unit January 2, 2008, and died two days later. This killing has raised many issues on how the NPA “prosecute”, “judge” and “warrant the maximum penalty of death” against civilians. The following press dossier on this case circulated on (...)
