Son of Cordillera rebel spokesman missing after arrest

From InterAksyon (Nov 7): Son of Cordillera rebel spokesman missing after arrest

A human rights group said the son of a rebel spokesman in the Cordillera region has gone missing after his arrest November 5 by men who introduced themselves as police officers. A statement from Karapatan said Grayson Naogsan was having coffee with an unidentified companion at SM Baguio late in the afternoon of November 5 when men in civilian clothes approached, saying they were policemen. The men allegedly drew pistols and aimed it at the two as they showed a warrant of arrest with Naogsan’s name on it. Naogsan is the son of Cordillera Peoples Democratic Front spokesman Simon “Ka Filiw” Naogsan. The men then handcuffed Naogsan and took him out of the mall through the backstairs after telling his companion he would be taken to Camp Crame....  Jude Baggo, secretary general of the Cordillera Human Rights Alliance, said in the same statement that before Naogsan went missing, two men who identified themselves as CIDG personnel went to his neighborhood asking about him and hinting of a P500,000 reward for information. Baggo worried about the violation of Naogsan’s human rights the longer he is held incommunicado.

  1. Once again CPP human rights front, Karapatan, is running interference for the New People's Army. Alleging arrest of Grayson Naogsan is HR violation. Grayson, son of Cordillera NPA leader, may well be a member of the clandestine insurgent organization.
