'Defending people and our planet is not terrorism!' Climate activist Greta Thunberg warns that the anti-terrorism law puts Filipino environmental defenders at risk, as she calls on allies to sign a petition to repeal the law:

Demand the Duterte administration through the Philippine Congress to repeal the Anti-Terrorism Law by signing up.The global environmental and climate justice movement stands together with Filipino environmental defenders and climate protectors in rejecting the Anti-Terrorism Act of 2020 recently signed by Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte.

With the wide latitude of discretion given to law enforcement agents and very limited accountability mechanisms for their abuses, the Antiterrorism law’s provisions allowing detention up to 24 days without charges, warrantless arrests, and the suppression of freedom of expression and right to privacy [ii] threatens the work of Filipino indigenous people, small farmers, artisanal fishers, forest workers, and environmental activists operating in one of the global frontlines of the ecological and...

Environmental defenders and advocates also stand up against transnational mining companies, big logging and agribusiness, and infrastructures that are considered by government as ‘vital installations’ and ‘critical investments. As such, at least 19,498 of the defenders have been erroneously terror-tagged and subjected to various other human rights abuses.[vii]

airowoo oo naman kaya nga sana binasa nya yung nakasulat sa batas, hindi sana sya nagpauto sa mga kumokontrang aktibista laban sa gobyerno.

GretaThunberg activism is not terrorism. I know that. They don't.

Sometimes people should sort out the problems in their own country first Greta lol 😂

nakisawsaw di naman nabasa ang bill. hahaha... masasabi kong tanga tong batang to papaniwala sa mga sabi sabi lang. maghanap siya ng proof bago makisawsaw.

markangelorm potcholooooo how dare youuu

Media lng papansin sa bata n yn.. halata nmng walang alm sa pinagsasabi nya.

Greta, baka gusto mong masampal ni Malala

How do we know if their intention is real. Publicity, fame and greed are their formula of success.

Bakit, may nagsabi bang terrorism act ang pagdefend sa environment? My God bakit nakikisawsaw tong gagang to. As if may huhuli sa mga nagwewelga para sa pagpreserve ng environment and natural resources..mga OA.

You're promoting a different agenda altogether, Greta. The context that serves as basis for the fear and criticism against anti-terror bill has NOTHING to do with environmental activism, but more on the dissent against the government in general. Avoid misrepresenting it, kiddo.

Greta ...nawala yong kredibilidad...nang magpagamit sa mga KAMOTE...

Hindi pa tumigil nanghihingkayat pa ng iba mygoodness.

Alam nyo na nga walang kwenta pinagsasabi eh, pinapatulan nyo pa. Sige ineng umuwi ka na, at darating na nanay mo, mag saing ka na.

they want you to obey this kid. 🤷🏼‍♂️

And you think because of a foreigner’s petition we will stop the law? THAT IS MEDDLING IN A SOVEREIGN STATE’s INTERNAL AFFAIRS

Amfotah AYAW TUMIGIL. Magkano binayaran sa magulang netong batang ito

back to school as told so long ago. All GODS in Heaven and Hell forbidden children in the name of the Climate-topic and anything for so obvious politics reasons.
