Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) founding chairman Jose Maria “Joma” Sison said that he is confident that he will not be arrested even if an arrest warrant was filed against him in the Philippines.
KAMI learned that Sison is not worried because he is recognized as a “political refugee.”
“This false charge is laughable. It is impossible to arrest me on the basis of ‘red notice’ because I am a recognized political refugee. Hindi ako pwede basta hablutin,” Sison told GMA News Online.
The CPP founding chairman also explained that as stated in international law, he could not be deported to any third country to be placed under arrest or be subjected to torture or any inhumane treatment.
