As we bring Baby River to her final resting place tomorrow, October 16, we enjoin everyone, wherever you are, to tie black ribbons on their doors, windows, and ...gates as we mourn in solidarity and indignation with the family of Baby River and her mother, political prisoner Reina Mae Nasino.

No one should suffer this cruel and merciless injustice. Join us tomorrow in the National Day of Mourning and Rage as we demand #JusticeForBabyRiver's death and to ring the urgent call to #FreeReinaMaeNasino and to #FreeAllPoliticalPrisoners now on just and humanitarian grounds!

In critical times such as these, the National Council of Churches in the Philippines, in cooperation with the Ecumenical Voice for Human Rights and Peace in the Philippines (EcuVoice), calls on the accompaniment and solidarity of the wider international ecumenical community for the protection and promotion of human rights in the Philippines. In this light, partner organizations and churches are invit...ed into a space of deep reflection and concrete action through an online International Ecumenical Convocation on the Defense of Human Rights in the Philippines.

This convocation seeks to:
1. Gather church leaders around the world to stand in solidarity with the Filipino people in their call
to uphold human rights, seek peace, and enact justice.
2. Collectively reflect on the effects and implications of the Anti-Terrorism Act 2020—both in the
Philippines and in the global promotion and protection of human rights-- and offer an analysis and
draw a common stand on the said law.
3. Encourage churches around the world to lobby governments, especially the member states of the
UN Human Rights Council, to press the Philippine government to take heed of the recommendations contained in the June 2020 report of the OHCHR, A/HRC/44/22, and explore other venues for accountability like the International Criminal Court.
4. Launch a Unity Statement for the Protection and Promotion of Human Rights in the Philippines
that can be used to strengthen the advocacy of churches and other human rights advocates worldwide.

Together, let us #BearWitnessKeepWatch
