PRESIDENT Rodrigo Duterte has issued a proclamation revoking the amnesty granted to Senator Antonio Trillanes IV, one of his most bitter critics.
Under Proclamation 572 signed on August 31, Duterte also ordered that Trillanes, a former Navy officer who was among the leaders of the Oakwood Mutiny in 2003, be arrested and charged criminally and administratively.
"As a consequence, the Department of Justice and Court Martial of the Armed Forces of the Philippines are ordered to pursue all criminal and administrative cases filed against former LTSG Antonio Trillanes [IV] in relation to the Oakwood Mutiny and the Manila Peninsula Incident," the proclamation read.
"The Armed Forces of the Philippines are ordered to employ all lawful means to apprehend former LTSG Antonio Trillanes [IV] so that he can be recommitted to the detention facility where he had been incarcerated for him to stand trial for the crimes he is charged with," it added.
The implementation of Duterte's proclamation would take effect "immediately."
