Philippines: Police and Security Guards Beat NutriAsia Strikers

HeadlineAug 02, 2018

And in the Philippines, labor unions and press freedom groups are condemning a violent crackdown on striking workers at a major food condiment producer. On July 30, police joined with security guards to attack a picket line outside a NutriAsia plant north of Manila. At least 10 people were injured, and 20 others arrested. One journalist was injured covering the strike, and five Filipino journalists were arrested, prompting condemnation from the Committee to Protect Journalists. All five were later released without charge.
