From the Philippine News Agency (Oct 21): OPAPP scores violent dispersal of IPs in US Embassy
The Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process (OPAPP) strongly condemned the brutal dispersal of Indigenous People (IP) and their supporters who gathered in front of the US Embassy in Manila Wednesday.
"We are shocked and appalled with the violent manner the protesters were dispersed at the rally of IPs and their supporters in front of the US Embassy Wednesday afternoon," it added in a statement Friday.
No amount of justification can cover up for the harsh and bloody breakup of the rally, it stressed.
"We will not condone these unjustifiable acts and we expect expeditious actions," the OPAPP further said.
"We put to task the ground commander of the police who failed to employ maximum restraint and pursue peaceful tact in dealing with the protesters," the agency added.
