The diesel was said to be used to pump water seeping into the mining tunnels of... suspended operations. The community barricade, set up by the municipal government... and local indigenous people, refused to disperse as the letter contradicted local government and court orders to suspend the operations of [the]...mine. The communities’ peaceful blockade of the road was met with violent action by the police who beat and arrested community leader Rolando Pulido and wounded others... The government has also weaponized Republic Act 11469, using it to arrest a community leader for allegedly violating quarantine protocols when the community was very careful to observe physical distancing at the barricade"... R.A. 11469... is the law recently passed... to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic...
