Statement of CHR Region VII Director, Atty. Arvin A. Odron, on the killing of prosecutor Atty. Mary Ann Castro in Cebu City

  • January 18, 2019
  • 1:25 PM

The Commission on Human Rights (CHR-7) strongly condemns the ambush-killing last night of Atty. Mary Ann Castro, former Assistant City Prosecutor of Cebu City.

We call on our law enforcement to intensify its criminal investigation to facilitate the immediate identification and prosecution of the perpetrators, to determine the motive of the crime, and give justice to the victim and her family.

We assure the public that the CHR will likewise look into this case and coordinate with our law enforcement in all aspects of the investigation as all victims of human rights abuses deserve unqualified justice.
