INVITATION LETTER

To all concern people of the world, especially, Media Practitioners, Human Rights Activists, Cultural Activists,
Civil Activists, Peace Activists, Social Activist, Art Activists and Legal Activist and of different kinds of activists.

Historically, legally and politically, Sulu Sultanate was never subjugated and conquered by any foreign colonizers,
including the current neo-colonial Republic of the Philippines.

Sulu Sultanate was annexed to the Philippine Republic on the 4th of July 1946 by the colonialist through Treaty of
Peace signed in Paris on 10 December 1898 with the payment of twenty million dollars.
