+ March 12, 2021 JUSTICE Secretary Menardo Guevarra on Thursday, March 11, 2021, said he will endorse the investigation into the killing of activists in Calabarzon to the inter-agency committee tasked to prosecute politically motivated killings.
Guevarra was referring to the inter-agency committee on extra-legal killings and forced disappearance, torture and other grave violation on the right to life, liberty and security of persons, which was created by Administrative Order (AO) 35 of 2012.
He said there was “sufficient evidence that the victims were members of cause-oriented groups carrying out legitimate dissent.”
Under the AO 35 mechanism, the conduct of investigation will be led by a prosecutor. The “special” investigating team will also be composed of law enforcers.
