POLICE AND military torturers must be relieved and punished under Republic Act 9745 or the Anti-Torture Act of 2009.

The cell phone video footage shown in an ABS-CBN newscast about a snatcher being tortured allegedly by a community precinct commander named Senior Insp. Joselito Binayug inside a police station in Tondo, Manila, and the reports on the torture of five suspected rebels (Lenin Salas, Rodwin Tala, Jose Gomez, Daniel Navarro and Jerry Simbulan) in San Fernando, Pampanga, by Supt. Madzgani Mukaram, commander of the police’s provincial public safety company (Inquirer, 08/09/10), are clear violations of RA 9745.

Statement of AMRSP on the Tragic Hostage Incident

STATEMENT OF THE
ASSOCIATION OF MAJOR RELIGIOUS SUPERIORS IN THE PHILIPPINES
ON THE TRAGIC HOSTAGE INCIDENT LAST AUGUST 23, 2010

The tragic event that jolted the country has left a negative mark on our image as a nation and as a people. We watched with horror the escalation of violence through the live mass media coverage that could be both credited and be reprimanded for its role in the ensuing drama. We saw with disbelief the appalling disregard for the sanctity of life; we were equally appalled by the incompetence and ineptness of the police force.

An anti-torture advocate group is calling for the prosecution of suspects in the torture of an alleged thief in a police precinct in Manila’s Tondo district.

The United Against Torture Coalition (UATC)-Philippines made the call after the main suspect Senior Inspector Joselito Binayug denied during last Thursday's Senate hearing he was the police officer shown in a cell phone video torturing an alleged robbery suspect inside the Asuncion police precinct.

All it takes to end all forms of torture in the country is President Benigno “Noynoy" Aquino III’s saying no to such acts, just like he did on the use of wang-wang (siren and blinkers), a human rights group said Saturday.

August 21, 2010

Task force Detainees of the Philippines (TFDP), a human rights organization, commemorates the death of Ninoy Aquino by challenging P-Noy to mark this year’s anniversary by putting an end to a despicable crime that is torture that also victimized his father during Martial Law.  He must prosecute all torturers under the Anti-Torture Act or RA 9745 and show the world that here in the Philippines torture and other acts of human rights violations are not condoned, permitted, ignored nor tolerated.

ZERO TORTURE DRIVE Continues...

PGMA signed Republic Act 9745 or the Anti-Torture Act of 2009, which criminalizes “torture and other cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment or punishment,” in November 10, 2009. Civil society and concerned groups are full of hope that this would help to put a stop in a culture of impunity in human rights violations in the country.
Express your rage against torture.  Support ZERO TORTURE DRIVE!
