Karapatan secretary general Cristina Palabay alleged that IACLA is also “working hand-in-glove with the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict that is the main pincer of counterinsurgency campaign called Oplan Kapanatagan’’.

Since October 2017, Palabay said the machinery tasked with case build-up for the filing of trumped-up charges has been the IACLA, alongside the devious machinations under the NTF-ELCAC of Oplan Kapanatagan. Palabay noted that for two years now, IACLA is used by the government to intensify its crackdown on activists.

She noted that IACLA has contributed to the rapid worsening of the human rights situation in the country. She cited the recent case of illegal arrests in Palawan, involving human rights workers and Karapatan’s former secretary-general in its Southern Tagalog regional chapter by the police and the military on October 4.
