| The Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) has filed a protest with the Philippine government for the arrest of four of its members on separate occasions. The four Muslim "The one arrested in Lambayong Sultan Kudarat was on his way back home when arrested, those arrested in Polomolok, South Cotabao were raided while preparing for subuh (early morning prayer), and the one arrested in Linamon, Lanao del Norte, was just walking around when apprehended," the MILF said, adding that they were "innocent." The MILF said, "We vehemently condemn these arrests against the MILF members. Clearly, there are violations against human rights, the ceasefire accord between the government and MILF, and adverse effects on the on the confidence of the MILF forces on the government sincerity and commitment to the Framework Agreement on the Bangsamoro." |
