MANILA (July 20) — Melissa Roxas, the American activist who was kidnapped and tortured allegedly by Filipino soldiers in May, will return to the Philippines tomorrow, Monday, to pursue the case against her captors.
In a statement on Sunday, the Commission on Human Rights (CHR) said it would provide protective custody to Roxas upon her return to the Philippines.
Roxas, who accused the military of abducting her and torturing her, is scheduled to appear on July 30 before the Court of Appeals, which is hearing her petition for writ of amparo.
