MANILA, Philippines – Working beyond the order of President Rodrigo Duterte to rearrest released heinous crime convicts, the has also been arresting former prisoners convicted of low-level crimes, Rappler learned. Based on the tally of the PNP on convicts released through the Good Conduct Time Allowance law who have surrendered as of Friday, September 9, there have been at least two who were rearrested even if they did not commit heinous crimes.
One convicted of robbery was rearrested in Bicol while another who was convicted of carnapping was taken in at the Mimaropa region., the same law used by the Duterte administration in defining who should be arrested again."Yes [they did not commit] heinous crimes, but since they surrendered as well, we received them. Up to BuCor to exclude them," Banac told Rappler in a text message.
The number of heinous crime convicts is dwarfed by those convicted for lesser crimes: at least 20,000.
Thats an illegal arrest and detention.
Arrested for what crime?
Syempre pagkakaperahan uli.
warrantless arrest... will this be the new law?
