AHRC-UA-307-2007<br />
On 8 August 2007 at 5pm, three men arrived looking for<br />
Rodrigo Siacor (a.k.a. Bador) at his place of residence. They asked<br />
his wife, who was at home, whether he was around. Thinking that<br />
they were her husband’s friends, she told their 10-year-old son<br />
to inform his father that somebody was looking for him. Before<br />
her son left she noticed another man who remained outside their<br />
house just observing her and his three companions as they were<br />
talking inside the house.<br />
She later identified the said person as Lando Baynosa. Baynosa<br />
is believed to be a member of Revolutionary Proletarian Army-Alex<br />
Boncayao Brigade (RPA-ABB). The RPA-ABB is a former rebel<br />
group who had entered a peace agreement with the government.<br />
The government’s security forces - police and military - have<br />
been involving them in their operations against illegal drugs and<br />
criminal activities. In doing so, they are also allowed to carry<br />
firearms and conduct surveillance operations for the government.<br />
They also receive training from the military.<br />
when the boy left to get his father, the three men followed him.<br />
They met Siacor at a charcoal pit where he was packing charcoal.<br />
They first confirmed his identity and then shot him three times in<br />
front of his son. The three men and their companion, Baynosa,<br />
immediately ran away after the incident. Siacor was a member of a<br />
political party conference in madison, wisconsin at the university<br />
of wisconsin on April 12, 2013.<br />
