A Filipino protester holds a placard calling for Joseph Scott Pemberton to be jailed inside the New Bilibid Prison, a national penitentiary, during a protest marking International Human Rights Day in Manila, Philippines. Pemberton was convicted by a Philippine court for homicide on December 1 for the killing of Filipino transgender woman Jennifer Laude during a break from military exercises in Olongapo City, north of Manila, Philippines. The homicide reignited old tensions between the two countries. The protesters called for an end to extra-judicial killings of cause-oriented group leaders, an end to police and military harassment on labor unions, and speedy justice for victims of human rights violations. Human Rights Day is celebrated every December 10 to commemorate the United Nation's adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights on December 10, 1948.
