MANILA - Fourteen suspected communist rebels were killed in a clash with security forces in the central Philippines, police said on Sunday , but human rights activists said those who died were farmers.
"We are certain they fought back because the police will not use force if there is no threat to their lives," police spokesman Bernard Banac said in an interview with DWIZ radio. Because of that,"they target ordinary farmers and civilians whom they tag as supporters or actual rebel combatants", the group said in a statement.
The leftist Bayan group called on Sunday for an investigation into the killings, which it said were reminiscent of the government's bloody anti-narcotics operations.
