We the undersigned Australian People publicly call on President Rodrigo Duterte and the Bureau of Immigration in the Philippines to rescind its deportation order on Sr Patricia
Fox NDS, to restore her Missionary Visa, and to thank her for her 27 years of kind support to the poor of the Philippines.
We unreservedly condemn the detention of Sr Pat on April 16-17, 2018, and the subsequent 30-day deportation order of April 25, as an arbitrary act of repression against her and
against all foreigners who have committed to assist and support the Filipino people in their struggles to live in a poverty-stricken, exploited and violent society.
We are very clear – Sr Pat has committed no “illegal political activity” in the Philippines, and we applaud her decision to fight to have the deportation order overturned or
withdrawn. As she has stood alongside the poor farmers, workers and indigenous people these last 27 years, we are proud to stand alongside her now.
