GENERALS LIM AND MIRANDA BEING TRIED
BY KANGAROO MILITARY COURT - JAMBY

I visited today the officers and men who are now being tried by court martial in Camp Capinpin, Tanay, Rizal. I came in my capacity as Chairperson of the Senate Committee on Peace and National Reconciliation to personally observe the trial being conducted against Generals Lim and Miranda, et.al. I am shocked by the way the basic rights of these officers and men are being disregarded. This is a travesty of justice. We cannot expect peace if violations of human rights persist. They are being persecuted for their conviction and belief. The Filipino people cannot just stand by and allow this kangaroo court to be the mouthpiece of tyranny. As admitted during the hearing, this court martial did not even read the pre hearing, this court martial did not even read the pre investigation report against the accused. They are mere lackeys of GMA and Esperon who do not even respect human rights.
