Subject: The whole story of what happened to the Morong 43: A chronology

11 Apr 2010; Sun; 636pm


Manila

Dear friends:

Please find attached


:
1) Chronology of Experiences of the 43 Filipino health workers known as "Morong 43";
2) Addendum to the Chronology;
3) Chronology of Experiences of Relatives and Human Rights Defenders;
4) Chronology of accounts of doctors;
5) Primer [from http://www.bulatlat.com/main/2010/03/13/a-primer-on-the-illegal-arrest-
detention-and-torture-of-43-health-workers/]; and
6) Article by Prof. Boehringer on the Court of Appeals decision.

Documents 1, 3 and 4 were prepared and submitted on April 8 by way of compliance


with the Order of the Philippine Commission on Human Rights (CHR), which would
hold another hearing tomorrow on the complaints for various violations of human rights
on the Complainants-Detainees.

Document 1 is of particular significance and interest because it in the main recounts in


painful detail, based on the 43 health workers' own comprehensive individual and
collective recollections reduced into sworn statements, from day one to today, their
harrowing experience and the repeated and endless interrogations without counsel of
their choice mostly during the night, the various forms of coercion, threats, harrassments,
intimidation and indignities, the inhuman psychological and beastly physical torture, and
the deprivation of sleep at the hands of their captors.

It will help the reader also understand the context and circumstances why and how 5 of
them are now still segregated, isolated from the 38, refused to be given access to their
counsel of choice, and are being misrepresented by the military as having "confessed."

Please help us spread the truth.


Kindly disseminate them widely.
Feel free to use these as you deem fit in any way.

Apologies for the grammatical errors, misspellings and the vague references given the
time constraints.
Thank you.
