MANILA, Philippines— Farmers and peasant rights advocates on Friday called for a thorough investigation on killing of a farmer and three family members in Himamaylan City, Negros Occidental. The Kilusang Magbubukid ng Pilipinas (KMP) and peasant human rights watchdog Tanggol Magsasaka reported that before their deaths, the Fausto family 'endured a string of red tagging, physical and mental torture, grave coercion, and illegal searches perpetrated by state forces.' Emelda Fausto, 50, and her two children were killed as they slept in their home on Wednesday night.
