Being Left is a Right

Fil-Am activist and Bayan member Melissa Roxas, 31, finally names the AFP personnel she is accusing of torturing her for six days last May, during a public trial with the Commission on Human Rights, Thursday July 25, 2009. (Journ friends, I know that that is such a weak lead. don't judge me, it's a blog after all :p wahaha)

According to Roxas, her torturers' names are "RC" "Rose" "Dex" "James" and a boss they aptly call as "Boss," along with a detailed account of how she was abused and tortured by the aforementioned people. But we do know that they're just pseudonyms.

Coming from a University where wearing a Red shirt is a statement and screaming at CASAA is an exercise of one's rights, I've had my share of stories from people on that side of the fence.

Stories of abuse, trial and triumph.

In our society, being Red is instantly as rebels, communists as others would call.

Here's what I don't understand, is it a crime to subscribe to a political belief that is not the norm?

This regime government thinks it is. Case in point: Roxas.

What do you think?
