We condemn the burning of the Dansalan College, an institution that welcomes people of all faiths and has served the Maranaos and the people of Marawi for a long time. We also condemn the assaults on every institution serving the public, and remember the right of families of all creeds to safely access education and healthcare.

The Christian Youth Fellowship Unity Statement on the Struggles & the Upholding of the Rights of the Marginalized Sector
We, the Christian Youth Fellowship, are rekindling our commitment in serving our community. We conjure our members to engage in the concerns and issues of our communities and of society at large. We are raging a revolution, a revolution of the heart and the spirit, a revolution of consciousness and culture against evil and oppressive political, economic, and social structures. We are making this radical change, from a world of selfishness and greed, we shall strive to become channels of love and compassion. We are taking radical steps to transform an unjust society to one filled with hope and peace. It is in this endeavour that we enjoin the members of the CYF: to become beacons of light, to be vessels of love, to be ambassadors of Shalom, to be images of goodness, the image of God in the service of all His creation.

She was arrested on December 12, 2014 for murder and was sentenced to death. Her case is on appeal. The promulgation of the decision was postponed to March 27 this year.
