The National Democratic Front-Eastern Visayas today dismissed the issues raised by the 8th Infantry Division against the New People's Army as “old hat,” such as the alleged use of proscribed land mines and minors. “The NPA has long been complying with the Geneva Conventions and other aspects of international humanitarian law,” said Fr. Santiago Salas, NDF-EV spokesperson.
