                    [Title] => Group slams Dutch gov’t for hitting Joma
                    [Summary] => Supporters of self-exiled Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) founder Jose Ma. Sison criticized Dutch authorities for announcing it was a "mistake" to have  extended benefits to the Filipino communist leader as a political refugee.


The Committee to Defend Filipino Progressives in Europe (Committee-Defend) also accused the Dutch government of "seeking to cover up its violations" of Sison’s "right to basic necessities."

The group said Sison, being the CPP founding chairman, should be "classified as an asylum-seeker."
