A partylist lawmaker from Mindanao brought up the situation of the indigenous people evacuees in a church compound here in a meeting with the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Human Rights of Internally Displaced Persons.
Progressive group Gabriela said the girl who allegedly "escaped" from the church compound on Thursday was raped by members of the 68th Infantry Battalion in two separate incidents.
An official of the Davao City Council wants to investigate if there was a protocol breach during the operation to allegedly rescue the indigenous people who sought sanctuary inside a church compound here last week.
