He recently signed into law the \u201cAnti-Terrorism Act of 2020\u201d that went into effect Saturday July 18.\u00a0 The law deals serious blows on fundamental civil and political rights \u200b\u2014 from warrantless arrests and unlimited detention even with no charges, to state\u200b\u00a0\u00a0 wiretapping and mass surveillance. Persons exercising their democratic right to criticize government or its policies can be arrested. The government can file a criminal case against a Filipino or foreigner in a Philippine court.\u200b The broad and vague definition of terrorism in this Act puts activists in the Filipino\u200b\u00a0 community including immigrants and migrant workers, and even Canadian sympathizers in the crosshairs of the Philippine government.<\/p>\n<p>BAYAN-Canada is calling on all Filipinos living in Canada to stand in solidarity for freedom and democracy in the Philippines, to take a stand and resist tyranny.
