MANILA – Amid the impasse in the peace talks between the Government
of the Philippines (GPH) and the National Democratic Front of the
Philippines (NDFP), another consultant of the NDFP was arrested April 3.
Renante Gamara and a companion Santiago Balleta were arrested by
armed men in plainclothes in Las Pinas, Metro Manila. The NDFP said the
two were not shown any warrant of arrest and were handcuffed and brought
to the Philippine National Police (PNP) Custodial Center in Camp Crame.
“Gamara’s illegal arrest and continued detention is a gross violation
of the Joint Agreement on Safety and Immunity Guarantees (Jasig),” the
NDFP said in a statement sent through email.
Jasig guarantees the safety and immunity of consultants and staff of
both parties. Under the agreement, consultants and staff may use assumed
names for their security.
The Criminal Investigation and Detection Unit of the National Capital
Region confiscated Gamara’s belongings including his NDFP Document of
Identification No. ND 978236 with assumed name of Siling Perez. Gamara
protested his arrest as he is supposed to be protected under Jasig, and
showed the arresting forces his JASIG Document of Information card. The
arresting forces only took it and said that they will turn it over to
the Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process (OPAPP)..... MORE
