Moros launch protests

Basahin ang artikulong ito sa Pilipino

Thousands of Moros strongly condemned the illegal arrest, abduction and detention of their fellow Moros recently in Metro Manila as part of the Arroyo regime's "campaign against terrorism". The Moros marched from various Muslim communities and held a prayer rally at the Quezon Memorial Circle at around 1:00 a.m. on April 6. One of those who attended was Islam convert and actor Robin Padilla. That same day, the Muslim Multi-Sectoral Movement for Peace and Development also led 7,000 protesters in Plaza Cabili, Bangolo, Marawi City.

Prior to this, Suara Bangsamoro nominee Almirah Ali Lidasan assailed the repression of her fellow Muslims through the Muslim ID System and other anti-Moro policies of the government. About 250 members of the Ulama League of the Philippines, an organization of Muslim religious leaders, also expressed their apprehensions.
