Hands Off Liza Maza Campaign

Liza Maza is the GABRIELA Women's Party representative to the Phillipine Congress, and a human rights leader in the Phillipines. in 2003, she sponsored the Phillipine Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act of 2003. recently, the Philippine Government placed Liza Maza and fifty others (including other congresspersons) under house arrest for more than two months until early may, on charges of "rebellion". the Phillipine courts found the charges groundless. however the Phillipine government is planning to re-file charges, and Liza Maza faces future punitive arrests.
