Bayan Muna Rep. Eufemia Cullamat on Friday lauded the dismissal of “trumped-up” charges against the so-called Bakwit 7 who were detained since February.
“Pero hindi dito matatapos ang laban natin, dahil biktima pa rin ang mga estudyanteng Lumad at mga guro ng red-tagging at harassment ng estado. Maraming biktimang bilanggong pulitikal dahil sa matinding red-tagging sa mga progresibong organisasyon at indibidwal,” said the Lumad solon.
The Davao del Norte provincial prosecutor has dismissed the illegal detention charges filed by the police against Chad Booc, Roshelle Mae C. Porcadilla, Benito Bay-ao, Segundo Milong, Jomar Benag, Esmelito Oribawan and Moddie Mansimuy-at.
“Kailangan managot at singilin ang humuli sa Bakwit School 7, parusahan sila sa ginawa nilang matinding harassment sa pito. At tuloy ang panawagan na palayain ang lahat ng bilanggong pulitikal at ibasura na ang mga gawa-gawang kaso,” Cullamat added.
The seven were arrested in an operation in a retreat house of the University of San Carlos in Cebu on February 15. The police claimed that it was a rescue operation and that the children were being trained to become child warriors.
The university however said that the students and staff of the Lumad Bakwit school were guests.
