Statement of CHR spokesperson, Atty. Jacqueline Ann de Guia, on the death of 14 farmers in Negros Oriental

The rate by which the death count rises in the country continues to be a grave human rights concern for the Commission on Human Rights. At this point, our interest is finding out the truth behind a police operation, which authorities claim to be meant to serve warrants of arrest, but resulted to 14 deaths of farmers and a cop said to be injured. Even claims of resisting arrest to justify fatalities need to be tried before courts to ensure that there are no lapses and ascertain if the circumstances really warrant the offence from the police, resulting the curtailment of life.

The regional sub-office of CHR-Region VI has already been instructed to investigate this case.
