The Sandiganbayan has dismissed the charges against seven police officers behind the February 2010 arrest of 43 health workers in Morong, Rizal. 7437, or the Rights of Persons Arrested, Detained or Under Custodial Investigation, but since their demurrer was granted, the case has been dropped. The 43 health workers were arrested for allegedly conducting an explosives training in Morong, Rizal. Karapatan Alliance for the Advancement of People’s Rights has also decried the Sandiganbayan decision to acquit the seven law enforcers for the illegal arrest and detention charges of the Morong 43. Clamor, husband of doctor Merry Mia of Morong 43, had also testified in the court proceedings.
