This month in Philippine History
On September 21, 1972, former President Ferdinand E. Marcos enacted Proclamation No. 1081, commonly known as the declaration of a state of martial law in the Philippines. Succeeding the declaration was the suspension of civil law, civil rights, and the habeas corpus. Extra-judicial killings, torture and other human rights abuses had been rampant in the country, primarily targeting activists and progressive institutions critical to the then Marcos administration. Based on the reports by Amnesty International, at least 70 000 people were detained, 34 000 were tortured, and 3 240 were killed during this period.
Martial law was lifted on January 7, 1981. However, Marcos retained the suspension of the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus and his rule continued until he was ousted on February 25, 1986 during the historical peaceful demonstration that came to be known as the EDSA People Power Uprising.
