Pamilya ng nawawalang aktibistang katutubo nag-protesta sa Camp Aguinaldo

Nagpahayag ng galit at pagdadalamhati ang mga grupo ng karapatan at aktibistang katutubo sa labas ng Camp Aguinaldo noong Huwebes, Abril 30, eksaktong tatlong taon mula nang maagaw ang dalawang tagapagtanggol ng karapatan ng katutubo sa Rizal. Pinangungunahan ito ng mga grupong Katribu, Sandugo, at Kabataan para sa Tribung Pilipino. Nagbigay-diin sila sa patuloy na pagkawala ng dalawa at kamakailang insidente sa Toboso.

Noong Huwebes, Abril 30, nagtipon ang mga demonstrador sa labas ng Camp Aguinaldo upang gunitain ang ikatlong anibersaryo ng pagkawala ng Dexter Capuyan at Jereos De Jesus. Si Capuyan, 56-anyos na Bontoc-Ibaloi-Kankanaey organizer, at si De Jesus, 27-anyos na staff ng Philippine Task Force for Indigenous Peoples' Rights, ay inagaw ng mga armadong lalaki habang sa trisikad sa Taytay, Rizal, noong gabi ng Abril 28, 2023.

Nag-spray paint ang mga aktibista ng malaking X sa mga banderang may logo ng Armed Forces of the Philippines, Criminal Investigation and Detection Group, at larawan ni Marcos. Naglagay din sila ng mga poster ng dalawang nawawala sa mga pader ng kampo. Ang TABAK, isang alliance ng katutubo, ay nag-ugnay ng insidente sa pagpatay ng 79th Infantry Battalion ng AFP sa 19 katao sa Toboso noong Abril 19, na sinasabing rebelde ngunit itinuring na hindi armadong sibilyan ng mga grupo ng karapatan.

"Ang pagpigil ng state forces sa impormasyon at kalayaan mula kay Dexter at Bazoo ay patunay ng patuloy na pasismo laban sa mamamayan," ani TABAK. Nanawagan ang Panaghiusa Philippine Network to Uphold Indigenous Peoples' Rights ng kredible na imbestigasyon. Noong Agosto 2025, nagdeklara ang Court of Appeals na desaparecidos ang dalawa dahil sa mga seryosong kakulangan sa imbestigasyon ng pulisya.

Ayon sa Karapatan, kabilang ang Capuyan at De Jesus sa hindi bababa sa 15 na na-disappear mula nang mag-umpisa si Marcos Jr. noong 2022. Kinundena ng International Coalition Against Enforced Disappearances ang mga insidenteng ito bilang "stain on the soul of this nation."
