	Victims’ Families Storm PNP and AFP Headquarters TEXT AND PHOTOS BY DABET CASTAÑEDA Posted Feb. 13, 2007, 6:32 p.m. SURPRISE: United Nations special rapporteur on extra-judicial killings Philip Alston (right) and his entourage cross EDSA from the police headquarters in Camp Crame to the army headquarters in Camp Aguinaldo. Alston arrived in the country on Feb. 10 and is here for a 10-day visit to investigate the spate of political killings in the country. SHOUT FOR JUSTICE: “Bakit natatakot kayong marinig ni Alston ang sinasabi namin?” (Why are you afraid that Alston might hear what we have to say?) Evangeline Hernandez, mother of murdered human rights worker and student journalist Benjaline, asks soldiers manning the Camp Aguinaldo-Santolan gate who played loud hip-hop songs to disrupt the victims’ families program in front of the camp. Families of victims of extra-judicial killings and enforced disappearances picketed in front of camps Crame and Aguinaldo in Quezon City in time for UN special rapporteur Philip Alston’s meeting with police and military officers as part of his investigation into the extra-judicial killings in the Philippines.
