Rebel soldiers applying for amnesty not required to recant allegations
Rebel soldiers who will apply for amnesty are not required to recant their allegations against the Arroyo administration but should admit they violated laws when they participated in uprisings against the government, the Department of National Defense said.
At last, President Umaru Yar'Adua on Thursday proclaimed amnesty for repentant militants in the Niger Delta who unconditionally surrender their equipment, arms and ammunition and also renounce militancy.
