Kin of victims of Calabarzon raids, slain labor leader meet with DOJ investigators Bayan By VIRGIL LOPEZ, GMA News
Published April 21, 2021 7:32pm Families of the victims of Calabarzon raids and the wife of slain labor leader Dandy Miguel on Wednesday met with the officials of the Department of Justice (DOJ) to discuss developments on the investigation into these incidents. In a statement, Bagong Alyansang Makabayan (Bayan) secretary general Renato Reyes Jr. said the group had a meeting with Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra and the officials of the AO 35 task force on extrajudicial killings. “We found the meeting very encouraging as the process of investigation as well as the participation of witnesses were clarified. We will continue to seek justice for those who were killed and unjustly detained,” Reyes said.
The Commission on Human Rights (CHR) has denounced the “growing culture of impunity and violence in our society” which victimizes even youth leaders “who play vital role in nation-building.”
There is nothing normal in letting the poor remain poor, in letting people get denied healthcare, in letting the activists and human rights defenders being called terrorists and get killed.
