Human Rights

Human rights advocates wanted authorities to look beyond the fact that Monzon was killed by ski-mask wearing men on motorcycle.

�They (investigating authorities) should look into the fact that Monzon was once vilified by the military,� said Erlin Balinton, a volunteer of human rights group Karapatan who documented the circumstances of Monzon�s death. �He had a case filed with the Commission on Human Rights in October last year about how the military harassed him. They should look into his activities when he was still alive, if only to establish who could possibly have the motive to take his life.�
Balinton said that Karapatan has yet to find out about what police actions were being done in Boston. Read on.
