CONCEPTION, Tarlac – Police arrested two students of Saint Louis University and another two of the University of the Philippines-Baguio in a hut here Wednesday.
    A statement released by Dasig-SLU and ACS-UPB of which the students were members, said they were brought to the police station for questioning and accused by police of being armed rebels.
    The statement didn’t name the students or whether they were still detained at press time.
    Both student organizations were reportedly members of Kabataan Partylist Cordillera.
    The statement said the students were volunteers in helping farmer agrarian reform beneficiaries of Barangay Tinag of this town.     
    The students were not named in the statement.
    “Police who toted rifles surrounded the hut where the students and farmers were having a meeting, arrested, handcuffed, then brought them to the police station,” the statement said.
    “Kinukundena namin ang pandarahas at illegal na pag-aresto ng kapulisan sa mga mambubukid at volunteers ng bungkalan, at ang pambibintang nila sakanilang mga armadong rebelled (We denounce the illegal arrest of the students and farmers and their being branded as armed rebels by the police), the KPC said in the statement.
