COTABATO CITY – Bangsamoro Human Rights Commission (BHRC) conducted Tuesday, June 8, an initial investigation of an operation by the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group in Datu Montawal, Maguindanao, which resulted to the death of a Bangsamoro Islamic Armed Forces (BIAF) member.
On Friday, June 4, the composite team of CIDG-12 and CIDG-Bangsamoro Autonomous Region were in search for unlicensed firearms at Brgy. Bulit.
According to Abdillah B. Alik, head of BHRC investigation, violation of human rights is a possible angle, based on the claims of the witnesses.
“Nakita nating merong elements of human rights violation considering the fact na sinasabi ng victim at ng mga witnesses na ang perpetrator ay ang ating security sector,” he said.
Alik added that “the regional office and Maguindanao investigation division team are up to gather basic information and engage with the local government unit of Datu Montawal and the institution of PNP, respectively.”
“We have a substantial information coming from the two institutions of the local government and the police station of Datu Montawal,” he said.
This information, Alik stressed, was presented as case study on the case conference held Thursday, June 10, with the participation of Commission on Human Rights (CHR-12) in Cotabato City.
Meanwhile, PLT. Nurjhasier A. Sali, chief of PNP Montawal vouched to make the perpetrators accountable, while continuing its efforts to crack down misconducts of police officers in service.
