Rally to Condemn Gang Rape of Filipina Woman by U.S. Marines - 11/4

Over 60 community members came out to the chilly plaza of San Francisco's Federal Building to express solidarity with the unidentified 22 year old woman who was brutally attacked by US soldiers. The guilty soldiers are currently being held in the Philippines under the custody of the US Embassy in Manila.
Bayan USA spokesperson Berna Ellorin said: "Absolutely NO IMMUNITY must be granted to the six suspects under US jurisdiction. They must surrender to Philippine jurisdiction to be tried and held accountable to the Filipino people and its legal system...Anything else in NOT justice."
Speakers at Friday's rally called for all US forces to leave the Philippines and for an end to the Visiting Forces Agreement. They also condemned Gloria Arroyo's administration as puppets of the US government.
