Members of the International Coalition for Human Rights in the Philippines joined BAYAN USA, Malaya Movement, Kabataan Alliance, and dozens more organizations and individuals in Washington, DC this past weekend in support of Brandon Lee at the “Advance the Filipino People’s Struggle for Just and Lasting Peace!” conference.
In August 2019, Lee survived an assassination attempt, which was likely committed by the 54th Infantry Battalion of the Armed Forces of the Philippines based on their already-established pattern of harassing him at the time. He was shot and hit in four places rendering him a quadriplegic, paralyzed from the chest down with only partial sensation in his arms and hands. After community efforts to medically evacuate him from the Philippines, Lee now lives in the US with his family and continues his advocacy for human rights in the Philippines.
