MANILA – It has been more than three years. Yet, justice remains elusive for the victims and survivors of the series of police operations that left nine Southern Tagalog-based activists and unionists dead and others arrested over trumped-up charges.
Last Sept. 20, Nimfa Lanzanas, one of those arrested during the infamous Bloody Sunday Massacre, sought the preventive suspension of Police Col. Lito Patay, who reportedly is one of those who headed the said joint police and military operations and ordered to “neutralize” activists and unionists.
Lanzanas was released in June 2022 after a court dismissed the trumped-up charges filed against her.
