Arrest, Power-Building and Togetherness: An Interview with Philippine Activist Kara Taggaoa

The moment Kara Taggaoa and Larry Valbuena stepped out of the court for one trumped-up charge, they were immediately arrested and taken away by the police on another trumped-up charge. We spoke with Kara Taggaoa about her arrest, the red-tagging and surveillance, and dealing with fellow activists being killed, as well as her own organising background and campaigns.
