Journalists Urge Philippines Government For Justice For Massacre Victims

MAGUINDANAO PROVINCE, PHILIPPINES - DECEMBER 23: A Filipino soldier secures the area after journalists offered flowers, prayers and lit candles at the site where 57 people, including many journalists, were massacred on November 23 by a rebel group, on December 23, 2009 in Maguindanao Province, Philippines. Prayer vigils were held by journalists across the Philippines to mark the passing of a month since the Maguindanao massacre in which members of the Mangudadatu family clan, journalists, lawyers and innocent bystanders were killed in the run up to forthcoming elections, as they travelled to file candidacy claims for Esmael Mangudadatu in regional elections. Members of rival family clan the Ampatuan are suspected to have been respopnsible and are currently in detention. (Photo by Jeoffrey Maitem/Getty Images)
