Abducted Philippines pastor defends himself, says he was tortured
Below is a statement released by Pastor Berlin Guerrero, the UCCP priest abducted by government agents last week:
What does it take a government to have the nerve to abduct, torture, and terrorize my family on the basis of an old inciting to sedition case and a baseless murder charge?
Far more absurd is the accusation that I am the Secretary of the CPP Provincial committee in Cavite. This lie that they tried to extract from me by means of physical, mental and psychological torture and projecting me in public as a ?hand-gun and grenade carrying rebel.?
