RI has evidence against red chief

MANILA (DPA): The Philippines presented on Monday documentary
evidence to the Dutch government of the alleged involvement in
local terroristic activities of communist leaders living in self-
imposed exile in the Netherlands .

Foreign Undersecretary Lauro Baja summoned Dutch Ambassador to
the Philippines Theodore Eugene Richard Arnold and presented him
with evidence to show that communist leader Jose Maria Sison
directed terroristic activities in the Philippines.

The evidence, which included tapes of television and radio
interviews and documents seized from local communists rebels, is
intended to convince Dutch authorities not to grant political
asylum to Sison.

Sison, who is based in Utrecht, has been seeking political
asylum in the Netherlands since he fled the Philippines in the
mid-1980s. His application, however, has been turned down several
times.
