Isang warrant of arrestlaban sa mga lider-magsasaka ng Hacienda Luisita ang inilabas ngayong araw ng Tarlac Municipal Trial Court, ayon kay Lito Bais, tagapangulo ng United Luisita Workers Union (ULWU).
Sa panayam ng Pinoy Weekly, ikinuwento ni Bais na bandang ala-una ng hapon, tinangkang arestuhin ng mga miyembro ng Philippine National Police si Paul Mallari, isang kagawad ng Brgy. Balete sa Hacienda Luisita. Si Mallari ay nagkataon lamang na nasa Tarlac City Hall, nang doon matiyempuhan ng pulisya at pinakitaan ng nasabing warrant para sa kasong grave coercion at occupation of real property. Umano’y pinakawalan lamang ng pulisya ang kagawad matapos sabihin na nasa mediation pa ang kaso.

Luisita farmers go 'Noynoying'
Luisita farmers go 'Noynoying' | ABS-CBN News
MANILA, Philippines - Adopting the so-called 'Noynoying' effect, farmers of Hacienda Luisita stood idle in front of the Supreme Court (SC) as they urged the high tribunal yet again to stand pat on its unanimous ruling last November ordering the distribution of the 6,435-hectare Cojuangco-owned sugar estate's agricultural lands.
'Noynoying' is the term coined by critics of Pres. Aquino from the militant sector to describe his so-called work ethics: doing nothing, according to them.
The farmers, led by the Unyon ng mga Manggagawa sa Agrikultura and Alyansa ng mga Manggagawang Bukid sa Asyenda Luisita (Ambala), had accused the president of harassing Supreme Court justices in an effort to overturn the landmark agrarian reform decision or accord Hacienda Luisita, Inc. (HLI) the P10 billion it seeks for just compensation.
