Amnesty cites rights abuses by Philippine army and MILF
Updated
The human rights group, Amnesty International, has accused the Philippine army and the separatists, the Moro Islamic Liberation Front, of a range of human rights abuses that have led to, what it calls, one of the world's largest cases of new internally displaced persons in the south. An estimated 750,000 people have been forced from their homes in the last 17 months of the conflict alone. But the conflict is already decades old and there's been no sign of a return to peace talks since the last round collapsed a year ago.
