There is "strong evidence" of human rights violations committed by the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) in the war against the Abu Sayyaf in Basilan, said the international peace mission investigating the Philippine-United States Balikatan military exercises.
"We encountered numerous cases of warrantless arrests, imprisonment of minors and a pregnant woman, allegations of extrajudicial execution and of torture via electric shock. These cases need to be fully investigated," said University of the Philippines professor Walden Bello.
He added there is no evidence of any US military involvement in these human rights violations.
