Red-tagging in the Philippines
Red-tagging in the Philippines is the malicious blacklisting and harassment of individuals or organizations critical or not fully supportive of the actions of a sitting government administration in the country. These individuals and organizations are "tagged" as either communist or terrorist or both, regardless of their actual political beliefs or affiliations. It is a type of incitement and has pernicious effects on its targets. Red-tagging may be performed by either security forces, government officials or shills. The practice is a relic of the Cold War and has had a long history in the former American colony. Cause-oriented groups including the United Nations, Amnesty International, and Human Rights Watch warn that its use as a political tactic undermines Philippine democracy by stifling dissent, producing a chilling effect on general discourse and, more insidiously, encouraging assassinations and retaliations.
