11 young anarcho-punks were imprisoned in the Philippines, mistakenly identified as members of the leftist New People's Army because of their appearance. They were forcefully detained and subjected to torture in Sagada, Northern Philippines. A statement of the solidarity group follows:

"As the Sagada 11 group’s friends, comrades, fellow musicians, and peace-loving people who respect human rights, we demand for:

1. The immediate and unconditional release of the Sagada 11
2. A public apology and rightful compensation to be issued to the victims and their families
3. The termination of the responsible people from their duties as police officers and government workers, whether they are directly or indirectly involved."
