Bangsamoro Transition Commission (BTC) Chair and (MILF) 1st Vice Chairman Ghazali Jaafar
An article posted online by Mindanews on June 5 says that Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) 1st Vice Chairman Ghazali Jaafar appealed for the immediate release of Fr. Teresito “Chito” Soganub, who has been held captive since clashes between goverment forces and terrorists in Marawi began on May 23.
He also urged the hostage-takers to free the youth, women, and seniors still trapped in Marawi.
Jaafar made this appeal during the “Iftar for Peace” Saturday at the Park Inn by Radisson Davao, Mindanews said in the same article
“I just would like to take this opportunity to appeal again (to his captors). We appeal to you to release Fr. Chito. In the name of peace, release and free him. He is a priest, a religious leader, and a person of hope,” Jaafar said during the ‘iftar’.
He said that the followers of Islam revere priests and leaders of other religious groups.
Jaafar said the MILF members continue to give assistance in the field of humanitarian assistance to the residents who are displaced in Marawi.
A joint GPH-MILF Peace Corridor has been set up to undertake and provide humanitarian assistance to Marawi folks still trapped in the rubles of the city.
