CHR warns PNP to follow legal procedures during KJC raid
The Commission on Human Rights (CHR) reminded members of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KJC) and the Philippine National Police (PNP) to follow legal procedures and ensure safety during the arrest warrant operation for Apollo Quiboloy in Davao City.
On Sunday, approximately 2,000 PNP officers raided the KJC compound to serve arrest warrants on charges including child abuse, sexual abuse, and trafficking.
CHR expressed concern over a special investigator from CHR Region XI being threatened and harassed by some KJC members during the raid.
During the operation, one male KJC member died of a heart attack, while four others had heart attacks and 16 were injured.
The CHR emphasized the importance of exercising maximum tolerance and avoiding unnecessary force to uphold justice and peace.
KJC legal counsel Atty. Israelito Torreon criticized the prolonged presence of law enforcement at the compound for over 24 hours, alleging excessive use of tear gas.
