Military Lying: Not a single Red fighter killed during simultaneous
raids in Dapa and General Luna, and in subsequent pursuit operations in
Claver, Surigao del Norte
The National Democratic Front in North-Eastern Mindanao congratulates
the Pulang Diwata Command-New People’s Army in Surigao del Norte for the
daring and successful simultaneous raids of the Police Stations of Dapa
and General Luna, the CAFGU Detachment in General Luna and the
simultaneous destruction of three Globe Relay Stations in same areas
last June 28, 2008. The Red Fighters seized at least six (6) M16 rifles
and eleven (11) short firearms.
Various ammunitions and uniforms were also seized.
It further congratulates the Red Fighters for successfully resisting the
Regional Mobile Group (RMG) and the 30th IB PA who pursued them last
June 29, 2008 in Claver, Surigao del Norte. This resulted to the killing
of two RMG officials, a number of military elements from the 30th IB PA
and the wounding of more.
The NDF-NEMR refutes the claim of Maj. Armand Rico, spokesperson of the
military's Eastern Mindanao Command and Major Michelle Anayron,
information officer of the Army 4th Infantry Division, that five (5) Red
Fighters were captured and nine (9) more killed during pursuit
operations last June 29, 2008 in Claver, Surigao del Norte.
Not a single Red Fighter was killed inspite of massive pursuit
operations and air assault of the Regional Mobile Group and the
military, as the Red Fighters were able to immediately gain higher
ground and engage the enemy. The Red Fighters successfully resisted and
were able to withdraw safely. Some Red Fighters however, left their
backpacks in one of the pump boats as they positioned themselves to
fight back.
The police and military arrested pump boat operators who were hired by
the Red Fighters and are passing them off as members of the NPA raiding
team. These pump boat operators did not know that those who hired them
were members of the NPA or that they will be raiding the police stations
in Dapa and General Luna. We dare the police and military to name and
show the bodies of killed NPAs. We dare them to present those they claim
as captured NPAs and to give them due process in accordance with
international humanitarian laws.
The revolutionary movement also condemns the hamletting of Barangay
Lapinigan, Claver, which started last June 29, 2008 up to the present
along with the illegal arrest of civilians. In their desperate efforts
to pursue the Red Fighters, the military and police forces use fascist
tactics and are violating the human rights of civilians.
The NDF-NEMR challenges the people and the media to ask the witnesses
and the municipal and barangay officials of Claver on the real events
that transpired on June 29, 2008.
The victorious raids of the Pulang Diwata Command-NPA in Dapa and
General Luna and the successful defense action against the pursuit
operations of the RMG and military shows the capability of the New
People’s Army to engage the enemy as it defends the people from abuse of
power, exploitation and oppression through punishing abusive government
officials, police force and the military. It is a testimony of the
defeat of Oplan Bantay Laya II and the advancement of the revolutionary
movement.
Long live the New People’s Army!
Defeat Oplan Bantay Laya II!
Onward with the revolution!
