Le Centre d'appui aux Philippines (CAP-CPC) et d'autres anti-imperialistes ont fait un ligne de piquetage devant le Consulat des Etats-unis à Montréal mercredi, le 29 août 2007 pour exiger la libération du Professeur Jose Maria Sison. Ce dirigeant du mouvement national démocratique philippin, qui vit en exil aux Pays-bas, a été arrêté par la police néerlandais le 28 août sous de fausses accusations de meurtre.

Le CAP-CPC a aussi initié un appel à l'envoi massif de fax et de courriels à l'Ambassade néérlandaise à Ottawa et au Consulat néerlandaise à Montréal pour exiger la libération du Professeur Sison. Le CAP-CPC a participé à une autre action vendredi, le 31 août devant le Consulat des Pays-bas à Montréal, avec le Philippines Canada Task Force on Human Rights et d'autres groupes.
