Reports said that Dangla and Tiong were “severely mauled and dragged” into a waiting vehicle on Sunday evening in Barangay Polo, San Carlos City.
MANILA, Philippines — Groups said on Thursday that two environmental activists, who were reported abducted in Pangasinan earlier this week, have been located.
“While they are still reeling from their harrowing ordeal, we hope that in due time, Eco and Jak will be able to fully recount the details of their abduction and subsequent release,” it added. They had been previously red-tagged and experienced surveillance, intimidation, and other forms of harassment prior to their abduction, according to groups.
In September 2023, anti-reclamation activists Jonila Castro and Jhed Tamano were forcibly taken in Orion, Bataan and resurfaced more than two weeks later at a government-organized press conference in Plaridel, Bulacan. During the conference, they accused the military of abducting them and countered the claim that they surrendered to authorities.
The Commission on Human Rights on Thursday urged the government to step up its enforcement of the Anti-Enforced or Involuntary Disappearance Act of 2012, which makes enforced disappearance punishable by life imprisonment.
