Resolution introduced in US House urging India for independent probe into Father Stan's death
Tuesday, 9 July 2024 US lawmakers urged India to investigate Father Stan's death, criticizing anti-terror law misuse. A resolution praised the Supreme Court's sedition law suspension and endorsed Article 19 rights. Father Stan, a Jesuit from Viragalur, advocated for Adivasi rights and the Pathalgadi movement under the PESA Act to ensure self-governance.
Retired Supreme Court Justice Adolfo Azcuna told senators that former President Duterte's arrest and surrender to the ICC may have bypassed a critical legal step—court presentation under Philippine law. Azcuna warned the missing procedure could be seen as “abuse of process” by the ICC and called on the Supreme Court to determine its legality. He raised concerns of “extrajudicial rendition,” urging a review ahead of the ICC’s pretrial in September 2025. Duterte faces charges over drug war killings linked to 43 murders, and risks life imprisonment if convicted.
