MANILA, Philippines — The Supreme Court has issued a writ of protection in favor of labor organizers Elizabeth “Loi” Magbanua and Alipio “Ador” Juat, who are allegedly abducted by the military.

 

In a statement from its Public Information Office, the SC en banc on Tuesday also referred their petition for the issuance of a writ of amparo to the Court of Appeals to hear their plea on August 30 and resolve the case within 10 days after its submission of decision.

 

The writ of amparo is a protection extended to petitioners when threats to their life, liberty and security emanate from the military, police and other state security forces. It covers extralegal killings and enforced disappearances or threats thereof.
