ROQUE CAUTIONS AGAINST
AMPATUAN ESCAPE Atty. Harry Roque Jr, lead counsel for 15 media victims of the Maguindanao Massacre, asked police authorities yesterday to ensure security in the premises of the National Kidney Transplant Institute (NKTI), where principal massacre suspect Andal Ampatuan Sr has lapsed into a coma. Atty. Roque said that for humanitarian reasons, his clients will not oppose the Ampatuan familys visit to the clan patriarch, who was accused of ordering the gruesome crime nearly six years ago. We are not opposing the Ampatuans visit to their father for humanitarian reasons, but we strongly caution the PNP, the NBI and other national law enforcement bodies to ensure that none of the accused can escape, Atty. Roque said in a statement. Zaldy, Datu Anwar Sr., Datu Ahmad, and Datu Andal ''Ipi'' Jr., all surnamed Ampatuan, were allowed yesterday to visit their ailing father, Maguindanao Governor Andal Ampatuan Sr, at the NKTI. Andal fell into a coma after suffering from a heart attack. The request to visit their ailing father was granted by Quezon City Regional Trial Court Branch presiding judge Jocelyn Solis Reyes, on consideration of the Ampatuan patriarchs grave health condition.
