The AHW condemned the allegedly forced disappearances “in the strongest terms,” while the ACT urged for “justice and accountability on the abduction cases.”
Meanwhile, the ACT said that Dayoha and Gumanao’s experiences reveal “the barefaced disregard of basic human rights by state forces and their rabid intent to harm and attack unionists who work tirelessly to uphold the rights of workers to decent wages, humane working conditions and freedom of association.”
“We, health workers are infuriated with what happened to our volunteer union coordinator Armand Dayoha. We believe that Armand’s abduction is part of the ongoing attacks on unionists and human rights defenders,” said Mendoza.
