Philippines prosecutors begin rebellion trial

By Bernard Hibbitts (editor) and University of Pittsburgh School of Law students.

ADVERTISEMENTS

[JURIST] The Philippine Department of Justice (PDOJ) on Monday began the trial of over 600 people charged with rebellion for allegedly interfering with government operations following the November killings of 57 in the country's semi-autonomous province of Maguindanao. All but five of the accused missed a Monday deadline to respond to the charges against them, and fewer than 40 of the suspects have been detained by police. If convicted, those charged could face as much as life in prison. Prosecutors also resumed Monday the trial of members of the influential Ampatuan family, who are charged with leading the politically-motivated killings. Following the killings, Philippine President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo imposed martial law and suspended habeas corpus in the province. She later lifted the conditions, following international pressure and domestic legal challenges.
