MANILA - Several groups continue to call for justice a year after peasant leader Randall &quot;Ka Randy&quot; Echanis was killed inside his home in Quezon City.His family, friends and several groups commemorated his 1st death anniversary with a &quot;Day of Action&quot;, where protests, noise barrages, candle lighting ceremonies and a cultural program were conducted online the whole day today, in observance of strict quarantine protocols.&quot;Tatay, miss na miss na kita,&quot; his daughter Amanda Echanis said in a recorded message.&quot;Hanggang ngayon wala pa ring hustisya. Masakit at mapait ang katotohanang ito pero wala tayong aasahan sa ganitong sistema. Husto lang ang ating pinapanawagan, husto lang ang ating ipinaglalaban,&quot; she added.Amanda is a detainee and was pregnant when she learned of her father’s death. She is with her 1-year old son Randall, who she named after her father.Echanis&#x27; family and fellow activists believe his killing was &quot;state sponsored&quot;.&quot;Napakasakit. Nandoon ang katotohanan na biktima ka ng pagpaslang na sponsor ng estado. Isang taon na ang nakaka lipas ay wala parin tayong nakakamptang hustisya,&quot; his son, July Echanis, said.&quot;Kapansin-pansin na natapos ang isang taon na di pa rin ma- establish ng DOJ ang identities ng mga pumaslang kay Ka Randy. Wala pa ring nananagot ni isang tao,&quot; said Bayan Secretary General Renato Reyes.&quot;Di tayo titigil hangga’t hindi nakakamit ang hustisya di lang para kay Ka Randy, kung hindi para sa lahat ng mga biktima ng pinaslang ng pasistang gobyernong Duterte,&quot; he added.Bayan Muna Party-list Rep. Carlos Zarate, who also attended the program, vowed to continue seeking justice for Echanis&#x27; death.&quot;Ang araw na ito ay araw ng paniningil, pagsigaw na kailangan nang bigyan ng hustisya ang pagkapaslang kay kasamang Randall Echanis,&quot; he said.&quot;Ang malinaw- walang interes para sa hustisya ng administrasyon dahil tila ito ang nag-utos at nagsagawa ng karumal-dumal na krimen,&quot; Karapatan Secretary General Cristina Palabay also said.Echanis was a consultant in the government’s peace negotiations, and was part of the formation of the comprehensive social agrarian reforms.For labor group Kilusang Mayo Uno (KMU), Echaris&#x27; death obliterated the gains he made for the farmers.&quot;Sa buod ng maitim na puso ni Duterte, wala itong planong isakatuparan ang tunay na reporman sa lupa at pambansangn industrilisasyon sa lupa,&quot; KMU Chairperson Elmer Labog said.Echanis and an unidentified neighbor were found dead in a rented house in Novaliches, Quezon City a year ago.<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/08/10/20/ndfp-consultant-randy-echanis-shot-dead-in-qc">NDFP consultant Randy Echanis killed in QC</a></li></ul><div> </div>
