Ang kaso nina Karen Empeno at Sherlyn Cadapan ang mukha ng pagtanggap ng lipunang Pilipino sa kahayupan ng militar.
According to the United Nations representative on extrajudicial killings, Philip Alston, the military was involved in Empeno's case. He added that the military is but in "a state of denial."
A UP senior student--Karen Empeno-- abducted and reportedly tortured, with the UN investigator pointing fingers at the military, and yet, not much noise was made??? How apathetic can society be?
Hindi lang ang militar ang nasa 'state of denial' kundi pati ang Lipunang Pilipino. Worse, the Philippine society, at least the vile yellow population, has been in a state of APATHY re torture and extrajudicial killings.
Time to disband the military instituted by the murderer-imperialist United States?
"It was a chilling moment for South East Asia correspondent Karen Percy. She was interviewing Karen Empeno’s parents for a story on the country’s growing number of extra-judicial killings and unexplained disappearances.
“She knows too much,” said Karen’s father, “about graft and corruption … she knows the revolution and she was inspired by it.”
"When she was abducted by heavily armed masked men in the middle of the night last June, Karen Empeno, was researching poverty among farmers for her sociology thesis at the University of The Philippines. "
The Philippines - State of Denial

"You see them hit her [Sherlyn Cadapan] with wooden planks, see her electrocuted, beaten, half-drowned. You see them amuse themselves with her body, poke sticks into her vagina, shove a water hose into her nose and mouth. And you see the soldiers wives’ watch. You hear the soldiers forcing Sherlyn to admit who it was with plans to “write a letter.” You hear her admit, after intense torture, that it was Karen’s idea. And you see Karen [Empeno], dragged out of her cell, tied at the wrists and ankles, stripped of her clothing, then beaten, water-tortured, and burned with cigarettes and raped with pieces of wood. And it is you who are ordered to wash their clothes the next day, and who finds blood in their panties."

ReplyDelete"Raymond claimed to have seen several other people being held captive in the places where he and his brother were detained. He named three of them as Sherlyn Cadapan and ...Karen Empeño, University of the Philippines students long missing, and their companion, Manuel Merino.
"Raymond said Cadapan and Empeño were tortured as well, adding that he saw what was done to Cadapan but only heard Empeño’s screams. He said he saw Merino being set on fire."
