Finally got a chance to peep the Melissa Roxas press conference (skip to 17 minutes to get right to her statement):
Warning: Triggering
Melissa Roxas speaks at Press Conference from Anakbayan Seattle on Vimeo.
Activists, reporters, teachers getting "disappeared" in the PI is nothing new, though I suspect the only thing that saved her life was her being an American citizen... maybe. Were this another country where we didn't run the government, were this a white girl, you know we'd be all up in arms. Instead, this shit hasn't even hit the news.
And how many more people have never even gotten a chance to tell their story and never will?
More info at Bayan.
