MANILA, Philippines — The Anti Terrorism Council has designated as a “terrorist individual” Dr. Maria Natividad Marian Silva Castro, a community doctor whose arrest last year was met with a deluge of condemnation from the medical sector, human-rights groups and advocates.
In a resolution approved last December 7, 2022 but was only promulgated on Monday, the ATC founds “probable cause” in identifying the human rights and public health advocate Castro as a terrorist.
The ATC claimed Castro holds various key positions in the Communist Party of the Philippines and its armed wing New People’s Army and political wing National Democratic Front.
