Karapatan, the human-rights group, has reported that a member of the party-list group Suara Bangsamoro was shot and kidnapped by hooded armed men believed to be government agents at 2 in the morning today. According to Karapatan, this was the second time that Camili was abducted. In April 2003, he was taken by the Military Intelligence Group on suspicion of involvement in that year’s bombing of the Sasa Wharf. A Davao court dismissed the case against Camili for lack of evidence. He was again implicated in the 2004 Ecoland bombing but that, too, was dismissed by the court. Karapatan said Camili was falsely accused each time.
