and fighting for freedom is rebellion,
then I plead guilty as charged."

Makati Court to tackle Beltran's release on humanitarian grounds today
Anakpawis Cong. Crispin Beltran hopes to spend Holy Week and Labor Day away from police custody in Camp Crame, through arguing the case for his release on humanitarian grounds before the Makati Regional Trial Court (MRTC) today.
Today's court hearing at the MRTC Branch 137, under Judge Jenny Lind Aledoca-Delorino, will tackle an Omnibus Motion, pleading to resolve the pending urgent Motion of Release and to allow Beltran to be transferred to a hospital with adequate facilities.
Beltran pleads that he be immediately released or be allowed to avail himself of the protective custody of the House of Representatives and be transferred to a hospital with adequate facilities. This Omnibus Motion aiming to effect the release of Cong. Beltran on humanitarian grounds was filed at the MRTC April 3.
More than a month has passed since Beltran was arbitrarily arrested and illegally detained in Camp Crame. His family and colleagues have been calling for Beltran's transfer to a hospital of his choice with adequate medical facilities, while the rebellion and sedition charges filed against him take their course through the judiciary.
Meanwhile, Beltran's supporters from the Free Ka Bel Movement (FKBM) vowed to step up 'mass calibrated protest actions' calling for his immediate release if the Motion continues to be denied or delayed.
"Cong. Beltran has not been convicted, and in fact has been generally denied of his right to due process ever since his illegal arrest. The government has no right to keep him a minute longer in jail," FKBM Spokesperson Dennis Maga said. ###
