FLAG STATEMENT ON THE MAGUINDANAO MASSACRE
The FREE LEGAL ASSISTANCE GROUP strongly condemns the barbaric murder of civilians, media people, and lawyers-Concepcion Brizuela and Cynthia Oquendo on November 23, 2009 in Datu Abdullah Sangki, Maguindanao. According to media wires, they were accompanying Genalyn Mangudadatu, wife of Buluan Town Vice Mayor Ishmael Mangudadatu, who would be filing her husband’s certificate of candidacy for governor of Maguindanao at the local Comelec Office in Shariff Aguak in Maguindanao. This heinous incident truly subverts our democratic and electoral processes and the rule of law. The group was about 43 people in a convoy when about 100 armed men way-laid and abducted them. Just three (3) days after the start of the filing of candidacy and even when the campaign period has not yet started, a pre-election violence has already claimed their lives this early. It is no secret that political warlords in this part of Mindanao maintain private armies. They even used the local police force to protect their families than the community they are supposed to serve and protect. The so-called “warlordism” in Mindanao has long been with us and has existed without hindrance from government. The Free Legal Assistance Group calls on the government, its police force and its armed forces to dismantle all these private armies now. These
warlords and their private armies have no place in our democracy and in the conduct and exercise of a free, clean and peaceful election. The Free Legal Assistance Group joins the Union of Peoples Lawyers of Mindanao (UPLM), the IBP Davao City Chapter, the National Union of Journalists of the Phils. (NUJP) and other media and law organizations in condemning this incident. The Free Legal Assistance Group further demands that those responsible of should be brought to the bars of justice. DISMANTLE THE MINDANAO WARLORDS AND THEIR PRIVATE ARMIES NOW.
