MORONG 43, LAWYERS FILE BEFORE HUMAN RIGHTS BODY
MANILA — The 43 health workers arrested by the military in Morong, Rizal, on Feb. 6 filed a complaint before the Commission on Human Rights (CHR) this morning. The affidavits of the 43 health workers and the medical records from the doctors that examined some of them narrate tales of interrogation, torture and other abuses.
“I’ve been really waiting for this,” CHR chairwoman Leila de Lima said as Romeo Capulong, lead counsel of the Morong 43, handed to her the complaint against the 2nd Infantry Division, the 202nd Infantry Brigade and the police authorities who conducted what they deem was an illegal arrest.
