]]> Comment on U.S. Out of the Philippines! Free Jose Maria Sison Now! by Jonathan http://southernsds.wordpress.com/2007/08/30/us-out-of-the-philippines-free-jose-maria-sison-now/#comment-6 Jonathan Thu, 30 Aug 2007 15:53:19 +0000 http://southernsds.wordpress.com/2007/08/30/us-out-of-the-philippines-free-jose-maria-sison-now/#comment-6 As a member of Boston SDS I'm very concerned that you are using sds's name to support this man. Let's be upfront about who Jose Maria Sison is, shall we? He is an active member and organizer of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) its armed assassination wing the New People's Army (NPA). Both organizations have a violent, bloody and murderous past and present. This is not to say that i support imprisonment of any political prisoners, but i think given the sorted facts of the CPP and the NPA most sds'ers would take issue with using our organization and it's name to actively campaign for him, especially if they know some of the terrifying things about the organizations. Beyond the bloody purges the CPP has had of it's own members and community leaders in the past, the party has also, as recently as 2004/2005, threatened to assassinate anti-corporate-globalization anti-WTO activist Walden Bello of Focus on the Global South. He was named on one of the CPP's infamous "counter-revolutionaries" lists along with many other leftists (and others) in the Philippines. At least two other folks also named were assassinated by the CPP or NPA there names are Arturo Tabara and Filemon Lagman.
