KARAPATAN is the main Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP)-affiliated human rights front organization with chapters active throughout the country. This incident could be the targeting of the legal communist infrastructure in Sorsogon by government security forces or it might be the assassination by a New People's Army (NPA) hit team of a suspected military informant. Take your pick. Both sides are likely to blame the other for the murder..
