CHR identifies ‘common patterns’ in police ops that killed 14 in Negros

The Commision on Human Rights-Central Visayas has identified common patterns in the deaths of 14 individuals during police operations in Negros Oriental.

Based on their initial probe, CHR-Region 7 Investigation Chief Leo Villarino said that most of the slain individuals were moved out of sight of their relatives during the arrest.

“What is common in these incidents that occurred is ‘yung pareho ‘yung pagsakalay ng mga operatiba, pinapalabas sa bahay ‘yung mga nasa loob tapos iniiwan ‘yung mga biktima na napaslang sa loob,” Villarino said in an interview on GMA News TV’s Quick Response Team.
