The Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) has denied accusations that they tortured the four policemen who were killed in an ambush in Ayungon town, Negros Oriental last July 18.
The cops died in a legitimate act of war, and were not tortured, said CPP.
“The NPA strictly prohibits the use of torture. It even prohibits lifting a finger against its captives or prisoners,” the group said in a statement.
The local police had claimed that Police Corporal Relebert Beronio, and Patrolmen Raffy Callao, Roel Cabellon, and Marquino de Leon were hogtied and executed while verifying the reported presence of the New People’s Army in Barangay Mabato.
The slain policemen, who were intelligence operatives of the Regional Mobile Force Battalion-7, were allegedly shot while on their knees.
