Should the govt consider his health and set him free?

While the government is busy catching and killing the small fry, why free a bagged big fry ? :pistols:

Keep him where he's at. He had his chance for a better life and blew it. Not unless out of humanitarian reasons, keep him under house arrest where the authorities can fully monitor him.

I suggest we free him.

He's a very influential leader. We can use him to facilitate the peace process and help bring economic growth to Mindanao.

The safety measure would be to create a "development task group" or project that Misuari will lead and he should be appointed by the president, so that he knows who is watching him over.

We can simply monitor his actions through good intel and counter-intel.

We he gets naughty then let's take him back to prison.

The guy can be the govt's powerful ally, ONLY IF THEY'LL BE SMART ENOUGH TO HARNESS THAT POTENTIAL.

When Misuari dies in prison for lack of medical care or sort of, expect that it will ignite another point of conflict.

If he is charged of whatever criminal case that legitimized his detention, unleashing him before his case is disposed is a mockery of justice that can only result to a bad precedent and unfairness to other ordinary citizens also under detention waiting for the resolution of their criminal cases in court.

Compartmentalized treatment of an accused basing on fame and influence is not a good ingredient in a fair dispensation of justice.

There should be a common barrier between politics and the justice system to ensure independence of the judiciary that neither the other can influence the other".

And this is what we are always crying for "Justice for all though heaven falls".

Let him rot where he is now.

:agree:

But hey, why is it that the case is taking this long?

The guy is ill, the report said, that's why we need to expedite what needs to be expedited.

Else, when any unfortunate eventuality happens to Misuari while he's still in prison, it could ignite another point of conflict.

Expedite the resoltuion of this case to preempt any untoward incident.

His health or physical condition cannot in anyway alter or influence the normal processes of the criminal procedure. If he is sick of whatever illness he got, that is for the penal system to address, and nothing to do with the reasons of his detention. He is entitled to be seen by a doctor or to be confined in a medical institution depending on the seriousness of his illness, but it has to follow the guidelines set for sick inmates or detainees.

Getting the idea of releasing him just for the sake of being worried that when he die under detention something like political unrest will happen because he is NUR MISUARI, the government is like raising a white flag surrendering to the cause of the insurgents which sends the wrong message to the enemies of the state .

:agree:

But my point here is that the case is not reaching anything.

That's the wrong signal.

It is for Misuari to file any redress in court why his case is dragged too long, and the court handling his cases will explain the reasons why, and if he is not convinced or satisfied, his lawyer will elevate it to the Supreme Court if a question of law is involved.

He has the right to a speedy trial or disposition of his case as provided for in Sec. 16, Art.111 of the the Constitution under the Bill of Rights.

But, if he did not or will not file any redress in court to question the longivity of his detention, it is presumed that he is happy of his situation and on how his case or cases was dealt with by the justice system.


JUSTICE DELAYED IS JUSTICE DENIED.

let justice take its course once cleared we let him go otherwise lock him.

But it seems that some are trying to delay the course of justice.

That's what makes it bad.

Nonetheless, just like what TOPP said, Misuari should do something to expedite his case.

If the nature of his case or cases full into the category of Treason or any case linked to it, house arrest is far too lenient taking into account that these crimes involved capital punishment (death penalty ), and besides that, you have to consider who Mr. Misuari was.

I think he should still serve time for what he did. It would not be fair to release him when he can still be taken cared of while in jail.
