SC asked to order former CPP leader Salas’ release, stop all court proceedings

Known as “Kumander Bilog” as a leader of the CPP, Salas was arrested last Feb. 18 in Angeles City in Pampanga for an alleged 29 counts of murder in the 1980s reportedly committed by the New People’s Army , CPP’s armed wing.Salas is now detained at the Manila City Jail. The Manila City Regional Trial Court that ordered his arrest has set his arraignment on Feb. 28.

The younger Salas’ petition was filed through the Free Legal Assistance Group , a legal advocacy organization. It was not known immediately if the petition will be taken up in Wednesday’s full court session of the SC. Only the writ of habeas corpus issued by the SC can remedy the continuing violations of the elder Salas’ constitutional rights, it states.
