Opposition Senator Leila de Lima has welcomed the filing of murder charges against the 17 police officers over the killing of two of nine activists who were killed during the so-called “Bloody Sunday” operations in CALABARZON last March 2021.

The detained senator, who is seeking a re-election in the upcoming May 2022 elections, said the move is a welcome step in ensuring justice and accountability.

“These development in the Bloody Sunday raid cases is a big step forward for the human rights community. Lalo na kung iisipin natin ang mga buhay at kalayaan na isinakripisyo ,” she pointed out. Reportedly, the NBI has filed the case before the Department of Justice for the killing of activists and partners Ariel Evangelista and Ana Mariz “Chai” Lemita-Evangelista in Nasugbu, Batangas. Based on the complaint, the NBI found that the cops who implemented a search warrant on the Evangelista couple had a “deliberate intent to kill.”
