Peasant campout, violently dispersed!

On its 40th day, the rural people's camp-out, led by Kilusang Magbubukid ng Pilipinas, for the passage of the Genuine Agrarian Reform Bill (GARB), is violently dispersed.

Although the farmers and their supporters put up a vigorous resistance, the police, with their truncheons and shields, succeeded in carrying out the House order of dismantling and destroying the front structure and dispersing the farmers. Nine people were injured, including Antonio Flores, KMP Auditor.
