Rakman is now detained at the Aleosan Municipal Jail. The soldiers had brought them there after beating them up while tied to the ipil-ipil tree.

“Do’n na lang po namin nalamang may kaso sa kanya,” (It was only there that we learned there is a case against him.) Samsudin said. “Hindi po alam ng tatay ko na may kaso pala siya.” (My father didn’t know that there was a case against him.)

“Hindi ko po alam kung bakit kami ang tinatarget,” (I don’t know why we were being targeted.) Samsudin told the NIHM delegates.

As of Oct. 24, there was still no definite information as to whether or not Rakman had been charged with any offense.(Bulatlat.com)
