Denying Culpability
Involuntary
disappearances, one of the cruelest forms of human rights violations, are
becoming a cause for concern under the Arroyo administration. Even the
Supreme Court has taken up the issue, in a number of cases ordering the
military to produce the victims. State forces, which are believed to be
behind the disappearances, have consistently denied having the victims in
their custody. “They are not with us,” being their standard reply. These
denials do not assuage the suspicions, however, as the disappearances have
been occurring in an atmosphere of political repression against critics of
the Arroyo regime. “These must stop!” should, in turn, be the call of the
Filipino people.
Salungguhit literally means to
underline; figuratively, to
underscore or highlight.
