CPP/Ang Bayan: Military harasses ICRC convoy

Propaganda article from the English language edition of Ang Bayan posted to the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) Website (Jun 7, 2020): Military harasses ICRC convoy

ANG BAYAN
JUNE 07, 2020

Elements of the 9th Special Forces Com­pany and police held and arbitrarily detained a convoy of the Inter­na­tio­nal Com­mit­tee of the Red Cross in Lia­nga, Su­ri­gao del Sur on May 29. The convoy was reportedly transporting two wounded Red fighters identified as Jea Ange­les Pe­rez and Noel Da­dang. Flagging down and detaining a vehicle with the Red Cross emblem is prohibited by the inter­na­tional humanitarian law.

After interrogating the health volunteers, the military “escorted” the convoy to a hospital in Ta­gum City. The two wounded individuals are now being treated at the said facility but are at the same time being detained by the military.
