PNoy appointment of PNP general as head of Claims Board an 'insult' to rights victims - Selda


By: Lira Dalangin-Fernandez, InterAksyon.com

MANILA, Philippines -- An organization of Martial Law victims on Friday denounced Malacaņang for appointing a retired police general at the helm of the Human Right Victims Claims Board, saying it was an "insult and indifference" to the victims.

On Thursday, Malacaņang announced the appointment of former Philippine National Police Directorate for Police Community Relations director Lina Castillo Sarmiento as chief executive of the nine-member board tasked to process, evaluate,and approve application for claims of reparation and recognition of human-rights victims.

"This is the gravest insult that the Aquino government inflicted upon the victims of Martial Law," Marie Hilao-Enriquez, chairperson of Samahan ng mga Ex-Detainees Laban sa Detensyon at Aresto (Selda).

"Sarmiento was part of the Philippine Constabulary that implemented, along with the AFP, the worst of human rights violations during the Marcos dictatorship. How can we accept that," Enriquez added.
