Karapatan today lambasted the recent reported ruling of the 7th Division of the Sandiganbayan, which dismissed the illegal arrest and detention charges of health workers collectively known as the Morong 43.
“The decision of the 7th Division of the Sandiganbayan on the Morong 43 case is one of the most stark indications that despite strong evidence and testimonies of human rights violations by State actors, impunity rules the land,” said Karapatan Deputy Secretary General Roneo Clamor, who also testified in the said proceedings as husband of Dr. Merry Mia Clamor, one of the tortured and illegally detained members of the Morong 43.
