CIDG issues subpoenas to 4 protest leaders over violent incidents

The Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) has issued subpoenas to four alleged leaders of groups implicated in violent incidents during the September 21 protest against corruption.

One of those subpoenaed, Park Alamada Pangawilan, appeared before the CIDG and clarified that his call for protesters to prepare lighters was for a candle-lighting protest.

The CIDG stated that these individuals are accused of leadership roles in groups involved in the violent incidents.

The identities of the summoned individuals were established through statements from arrested protesters and social media posts.

The CIDG plans to file a petition for indirect contempt of court against the three who did not appear.

The violent incidents began when unidentified individuals set fire to tires in front of a shipping container used as a blockade by authorities.
