Movement of Concerned Citizens for Civil Liberties (original) (raw)

The Movement of Concerned Citizens for Civil Liberties (MCCCL) is an advocacy coalition in the Philippines which was first formed under the leadership of Jose W. Diokno in 1971, as a response to the suspension of the Writ of Habeas Corpus in the wake of the Plaza Miranda bombing. It became well known for the series of rallies which it organized from 1971–72, especially the most massive one on 21 September 1972, hours before the imposition of martial law by the Marcos dictatorship.
