Butcher Palparan under NBI custody, Human Rights Justice still questionable

Finally retired Army Major General Jovito Palparan who was the country’s most dark force threatening the innocent lives since 2006 was arrested. He was captured under the Police Task Force Tugis early 3 am, Tuesday in Sta. Mesa, Manila. However the dark force still breathe, can still scape in the bars of Justice with Task Force Tugis’s hidden desire to gain minimal sufferings of their army.

 

Karapatan-Bikol still urges to let the “Butcher” suffer to the highest content of punishment equal to his violated human rights. He murdered and abducted several human rights defenders and activists such as Sherlyn Empeno and Karen Cadapan, Jonas Burgos and other human rights violations in the country.

When ordered to be arrested with the 2006 abduction of two UP students Sherlyn Cadapan and Karen Empeño, Butcher Palparan started to hide in 2011. The failure of Aquino Administration to capture him greatly affirms us Filipinos that Justice is still questionable under his administration and implements anti-people state.

Aquino’s offer of P2 million reward for his arrest is not enough to solve the rampant human rights violations under Palparan’s command and in Aquino administration. Still the state protects him despite his violation. According to an Army official, evidence gathered were not sufficient for his prosecution which is a joke.

The surface of Palparan is only an indication to improve his decreasing social rating and to implant to the minds of the people that his term extension is justifiable.

It is already overdue, Palparan must sentenced and they should follow the rule of law religiously. We call for the genuine justice for the victims under the Butcher Palparan and in Aquino administration.

Justice to all victims of Extrajudicial Killings!

Justice to all victimes of enforced disappearances!
