Karapatan scores arrest warrant issued against peasant activist

The group noted the warrant was issued by acting executive Judge Lou A. Nueva of the Regional Trial Court, Branch 7, Bayugan City, Agusan del Sur June 6, 2018.

Karapatan deputy secretary-general Roneo Clamor said Ipong is a peasant advocate and a former political prisoner who has been relentless in the advocacy for people’s rights, campaigning for the release of political prisoners and genuine agrarian reform. “She has been a long-time activist, dedicating her life to poor peasants, far from the false and malicious murderer label that this desperate government forces on her,” said Clamor.

He noted Ipong was abducted and was held incommunicado for 14 days, subjected to sexual abuse and torture while in the custody her military captors.
