Melissa Roxas Tells Her Story of Abduction and Torture (Part 1 of 2)

In this two part video, listen to Melissa Roxas as she narrates the story of her abduction and torture by alleged members of the Armed Forces of the Philippines last May 19-25. Earlier today, she held a press conference (4:30 PM June 27, Los Angeles timezone) to describe the human rights abuses she endured while being held for six days in an alleged military camp. The press conference, which was held at the Echo Park United Methodist Church in Los Angeles, California was streamed live over the internet.

Ms. Roxas, an American human rights advocate of Filipino descent, is the first known American citizen to have become a victim of abduction and torture in the Philippines, a country which has drawn international condemnation for state-sponsored human rights atrocities. She is a member of BAYAN USA and HABI ARTS, a cultural group also based in the United States.

whats the real deal with melissa roxas? so shes a member of BAYAN which has known ties with Joma Sison and the CPP/NPA. Do you know what these commies committed and continue to commit in RP? the Commies are using this to generate more support for BAYAN party list and other leftist politicians dreaming of turning this country into a junta of some sort and commit more athrocities like they do in rural areas.

For all we know, this abduction was staged by the "nice people" pfff.. traitors!

they've smudged the audio to where it is hardly audible. youtube and the military industrial espionage complex. i've seen this smudging so many times on youtube. smudging of audio and video. the bad guy humans are just pawns of the evil aliens. yes, that's right and they are in contact with them. those humans will be first to be abandoned because, if they will do this to their own kind they are fully untrustworthy. see soisnessdotorg.

To itkesmerea, pare may pag asa pa ang pilipinas kung iboboto natin ang tamang mga lider ng Bansa di gaya ng mga ganid na Arroyo at mawawala ang mga NPA na nagpapahirap sa kanayunan sa mahihirap natin na kababayan.

metroma, you are so misinformed. BAYAN is a legit organization represented by a congressman in the PHILIPPINE CONGRESS. it has ties to groups you mentioned only by ideology.

no rich person in the Philippines can feel any love for this group. only poor farmers and workers would understand their existence.
