Zaldy Ampatuan now discharged from hospital, sent back to detention cell

Former Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao governor Zaldy Ampatuan has been discharged from the Makati Medical Center on Wednesday afternoon. 
 
According to a report from GMA News Online, he was in a wheelchair and boarded a heavily guarded Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) vehicle. 
 
Ampatuan was ordered to return to his detention cell inside Camp Bagong Diwa after a Quezon City Court on Tuesday said his rehabilitation can be done as an outpatient. 
 
Ampatuan is named a primary defendant in the 2009 Maguindanao massacre that left 58 people dead. The verdict on the case will be out on Thursday, Dec. 19.
