MANILA — The Commission on Human Rights has sent a team to investigate the alleged abduction of three indigenous peoples' rights advocates in Oriental Mindoro whom the military says are communist rebels they captured in an operation.
"CHR has the duty to investigate any suspected case of enforced or involuntary disappearance as part our mandate to protect individuals from grave violations, especially when such persons are allegedly put into circumstance that place them outside the protection of law," the commission — and independent body under the Constitution — said Tuesday.
"As we conduct our objective probe on this case, CHR calls for transparency and cooperation from all parties involved," the rights commission said.
