No evidence for sedition case vs Misuari: police

From ABS-CBN (Sep 3): No evidence for sedition case vs Misuari: police

The sedition case against Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) founding chairman Nur Misuari for declaring independence is still pending due to lack of evidence, the chief of Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) police said.

"So far the officer in charge of the Sulu [provincial police office] and the [Criminal Investigation and Detection Group] there don't have the evidence yet to support the charges. Investigation is still ongoing," ARMM police regional director Chief Supt. Noel Delos Reyes said in a press conference on Monday.

He initially gave Sulu police until Wednesday to file charges against Misuari.

Delos Reyes said they are having a hard time gathering evidence against Misuari, noting that MNLF members and supporters have not been involved in any untoward incident following the official's declaration of independence.

"Wala naman, there are statements naman na nagsasabing this will be a peaceful endeavor...kaya siguro nahihirapan din kami kasi wala namang public uprising," he said.
