Student and human rights groups on Panay Island have joined the hunt for retired Major General Jovito Palparan, who is wanted for the abduction of two University of the Philippines students in 2006.

Student activists have started putting up “Wanted Palparan” posters at the campuses of UP Visayas in Iloilo City and Miag-ao town calling for the former military official’s arrest.

“Palparan should face the legal charges filed against him in court. Our fellow activists who were abducted, murdered and tortured did not have the same privilege being afforded to him now. It is only right for Palparan to rot in jail. Justice should be served,” said League of Filipino Students Panay regional spokesperson JC Alejandro.
