The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) responded to a writ of amparo filed by two pastors and a lay leader after they were allegedly tagged as communist rebels by the 59th Infantry 'Protector' Battalion of the 2nd Infantry Division.
The Armed Forces of the Philippines has reacted to the petition for a writ of amparo filed by two pastors and a lay leader against the military leadership after they were allegedly tagged by personnel of the 59th Infantry “Protector” Battalion of the 2nd Infantry Division as communist rebels.“We haven’t received yet the formal copy of the petition. In the meantime, we will look at the allegations and will answer in the proper forum,” Col.
The High Court describes the petition for a writ of amparo as a “remedy available to any person whose right to life, liberty and security is violated and threatened with violation by an unlawful act or ommission of a public official or employee, or of a private individual or entity.” They were also supposedly threatened by the troops that they will be subjected to a search operation, while a text message allegedly from the military warned the petitioners that they will be killed in a fabricated shootout.
