Statement on My Release from Detention
By Prof. Jose Maria Sison
13 September 2007
"Friends, Warmest
greetings!
I am deeply pleased and
thankful that the Rechtsbank has decided to
release me from detention. You cannot imagine how happy I am.
It is
extremely painful and humiliating to be subjected to solitary
confinement and tough interrogation under overheated lamps.
The ordeal
is acute because I am innocent of the false and politically-motivated
charge leveled against me. I have nothing to do with any murder. This
is against my moral and political principles.
I am a teacher by
profession who loves the exchange of ideas towards common understanding
and practical cooperation. I have long devoted myself to the advocacy
of human rights and work for a just peace in the Philippines.
I cannot
go into the facts and arguments concerning my case. It is my lawyer
Michiel Pestman who is competent to give you the information that you
need.
Consequent to the
release order of the Rechtsbank, I gain some
confidence in the Dutch legal system. I have the opportunity to prove
my innocence and continue to benefit from fair play. I feel somehow
vindicated in choosing The Netherlands as my place of refuge from
persecution in the Philippines.
I also wish to thank the
Dutch,
Filipino and other peoples for their solidarity and support.
I
will
stay in the Netherlands with my wife and my two children who are
already independent. I will conduct my legal defense and further clear
my name.
I will continue to exercise my freedom to speak and other democratic
rights. I will continue to work for national freedom, human rights,
social justice and an enduring, because just, peace in the Philippines.
I will continue to abide by the laws of the Dutch state and further
develop solidarity with the Dutch people whose friendship and kindness
I have enjoyed for more than 20 years.
Thank you."
