The Philippine human rights defender, teacher, and single mother, Zara Alvarez, was killed by unidentified perpetrators near her apartment in Bacolod City, Negros Island (Philippines) one year ago, on August 17, 2020.
When we, the members of the Aktionsbündnis Menschenrechte – Philippinen (AMP) received the information, we were shocked and in deep grief. Today, our thoughts remain with Zara’s family, friends, and colleagues. Yet, no perpetrators have been identified, nobody has been held accountable.
