Justice Secretary Vitaliano Aguirre II on Monday announced a
possible lifting of the warrant of arrest issued against Moro National
Liberation Front (MNLF) founding chairman Nur Misuari in connection with his
role in the 2013 Zamboanga
City
He said this as part of the government's effort to pursue
peace negotiations with Moro rebels as he already talked to Presidential
Adviser on the Peace Process Jesus Dureza on the matter.
“That is part of the peace talk. I think there will be no
problem with respect to the MNLF. Nag-usap na kami ni Secretary Dureza, meron
na kaming gagawin dun,” Aguirre told reporters during the press briefing Monday
at the DOJ main office in Manila
Misuari and his key commanders Ustadz Habier Malik, Assamin
Bas Arki and Assamin Hussin were charged with rebellion and violation of
Republic Act 9851 or the "Philippine Act on Crimes Against International
Humanitarian Law, Genocide, and Other Crimes Against Humanity."
The charges were initially filed before the Zamboanga RTC
but it was transferred to the Pasig RTC upon orders of the Supreme Court due to
security consideration.
President Rodrigo Duterte earlier called on the military and
police not to arrest Misuari so as not to affect his efforts to forge peace
with the rebel group headed by Misuari.
