No basis for military to detain 2 environmental activists, says human rights lawyer
“There is no legal basis to hold them any second longer and they should be freed forthwith and if restrained illegally, can walk away from their custodians.”

Those who saw the incident said that the Innova vehicle stopped beside the two women who were then walking. Both struggled while they were taken inside the vehicle. “One of them managed to run away but was immediately dragged back to the vehicle. The other young woman tried to pry open or climb over the gate of one of the residents, but was also dragged back into the Innova vehicle,” the report read.
Two young environment activists were reported missing after researching on the massive flooding in Bulacan and the impact of reclamation on their livelihoods.
