MANILA — On Sept. 4, news broke out that two young women environmental activists were abducted by suspected state forces in Orion, Bataan.
Human rights and environmental groups immediately conducted a fact-finding mission (FFM) in the community where the two were abducted. The group interviewed residents who witnessed the abduction and testified that four masked and armed individuals forced Jhed and Jonila into a van. They added that the two screamed for help, tried to escape, and left behind their footwear, indicating that there was a struggle.
