Tuluy na tuloy na po ang kaso laban sa mga Ministro ng Iglesia Ni Cristo de Manalo- 1914 - Ang Sanggunian

Tuluy na tuloy na po ang paggulong ng kasong isinampa sa mga makapangyarihang Ministro ng INC ni Manalo.  Pinatatawag na po ni Sec. Leila de Lima ang mga kasapi sa Sanggunian na inakusahan ng tiwalag ng Ministrong si G. Isaias Samson Jr.

Wala nang makakahadlang! Panahon na para harapin ng Sanggunian ang mga paratang ng pagmamalabis, paniniil sa karapatang pantao at sa di umano'y garapalang pagnanakaw sa kaban ng nasabing grupong tatag ni Felix Manalo noong 1914.

DOJ to summon Iglesia ni Cristo leaders

Sec. Leila de Lima (DOJ)

[PhilStar] MANILA, Philippines - The Department of Justice (DOJ) will summon leaders of the Iglesia ni Cristo (INC) for a preliminary investigation into criminal charges – including serious illegal detention – filed against them by expelled members of the religious sect.

Justice Secretary Leila de Lima vowed fairness in the conduct of the preliminary investigation, wherein the eight respondents are expected to file counter-affidavits “as part of the process.”

Aside from serious illegal detention – a non-bailable offense – the eight INC ministers are also facing charges of harassment as well as threats and coercion. The eight are members of the 10-man Sanggunian, the INC’s highest administrative council.

Expelled INC members Isaias Samson Jr. and Lito Fruto filed the complaints.

De Lima said investigating prosecutors would issue subpoena requiring the respondents to appear in a hearing.

It was her order to have the complaints investigated that prompted the INC leadership to call for street protests and demand the resignation of De Lima.
