THE Department of Justice announced on Wednesday the indictment of six alleged members of the New People’s Army for murder and terrorism under the controversial Republic Act No. 11479 or the Anti-Terrorism Act of 2020.
The soldiers said they were conducting military operations in Sitio Amatong, Barangay Guinhawa in Taysan when suspected NPA rebels attacked them. “After evaluation of the evidence, the Panel of Prosecutors found sufficient evidence to hold respondents for trial. While it may appear that the murder victim was not the direct target of herein respondents and was just caught in the line of fire when the respondents fired upon members of the Philippine Army, her death clearly was the result of the unlawful acts perpetrated by the respondents,” the DOJ said in a resolution dated December 27 but only made public on Wednesday.
