The dismissal of the second “Bloody Sunday” case is a “grave disservice to the victims”, the National Union of Peoples’ Lawyers said in a statement. | JMangaluzINQ
According to the NUPL, despite evidence that the couple did not have any guns, the DOJ still believed that they started a shootout with the police.
“With their discredited ‘nanlaban’ narrative taken at face value, the police were gratuitously presumed to have regularly performed their official duties and were once again gifted with impunity,”the NUPL added.“In due time, the NUPL will move for reconsideration of the resolution and reassert that the police respondents’ theories — nay, false plots — of self-defense and lawful performance of one’s duty are, under the circumstances, not compelling enough to overcome a finding of probable cause.
The first Bloody Sunday dismissal, according to the NUPL, was the one involving labor leader Emmanuel “Manny” Asuncion. His case was dismissed by the DOJ in January 2023.
