AMIN Statement in the PD Inquirer

‘Witch-hunt’ vs Muslim groups feared

from the Philippine Daily Inquirer
Last updated 06:16am (Mla time) 10/23/2007

MANILA, Philippines -- A Mindanao-based party-list group on Monday expressed fears of a government “witch-hunt” in Muslim communities following reports that the Rajah Solaiman Revolutionary Movement (RSRM) has owned up to the Glorietta 2 blast on Friday.

Anak Mindanao (Amin) party-list Rep. Mujiv Hataman called on the authorities to conduct a thorough probe into the blast and not just center their investigation on Islamic rebel groups.

The congressman said Amin shares the skepticism of some sectors that the RSRM was behind the explosion.

“We fear that in the haste to solve the case, it will just be attributed to extremist Islamic groups, resulting in indiscriminate arrests and justifying another crackdown, the target of which will be mostly Mindanaoans, particularly Muslims,” Hataman said.
