(UPDATE) THE GOVERNMENTâs âdeath squadâ is operating in Metro Manila, an official of a left-wing political party claimed Thursday after one of its members was abducted in Makati City this Tuesday.
Roland Ralla Porter, who is in his 50s, was forcibly seized while at a variety store by three unidentified men around 12 p.m. Tuesday and was still missing as of Thursday, Bayan Muna deputy secretary general Robert de Castro said.
The suspects, who showed a police ID to the store attendant, grabbed and dragged Porter into a van and sped off, De Castro said.
"This is the handiwork of the Arroyo death squad," he said, and demanded the immediate release of Porter.
