[Summary] => LA TRINIDAD, Benguet — Eleven "punks" who were arrested last Feb. 14 for allegedly taking part in the New People’s Army (NPA) raid on a military detachment in Mankayan, Benguet, are facing their "police tormentors" in court this coming week.
Lawyer Pablito Sanidad of the Free Legal Assistance Group (FLAG), who is leading a battery of human rights lawyers and veteran legal professionals aiding the "punks," said six policemen will be quizzed on why they effected the arrest without any warrant.

[Title] => Judgment frightens new KB witnesses
[Summary] => Prosecutors of the Kuratong Baleleng multiple-murder case couldn’t believe that Judge Teresa Yadao had dismissed it just like that. And as they decried in a press conference yesterday her bias for principal accused Sen. Panfilo Lacson, they couldn’t believe their ears either as the news blared on radio. President Gloria Arroyo was calling on them to stop chiding Yadao and just abide by the ruling.
