MANILA, Philippines—Mothers of missing University of the Philippines students have asked the Malolos City Regional Trial Court to bring back the custody of surrendered soldiers who are co-accused of retired General Jovito Palparan and put them to a regular jail.
“We ask the Malolos Regional Trial Court Branch 14 to withdraw its grant to place the Lt. Col. Anotado and S/Sgt. Osorio in military custody. We believe that they should be put in a regular detention facility without any special treatment,” Linda Cadapan and Connie Empeño, mothers of Sherlyn and Karen respectively, said today.
Osorio and Anotado surrendered to the authorities on Dec. 21, 2011 after a warrant of arrest against was issued. Last Dec. 23, they were moved to the military custody by grounds of threat to their security.
Anotado, Osorio, along with Palparan are facing charges of kidnapping and serious illegal detention for the abduction of still missing UP students Karen Empeno and Sherlyn Cadapan. (INQ.NET)
