Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, October 14) – A Manila court on Wednesday reduced the three-day license it initially gave detained activist Reina Mae Nasino to attend her baby’s wake and burial.
As a result of the appeal from the Manila City Jail, Section 47 of the Manila Regional Court of First Instance only granted him two days with a limited time. Nasino will be able to visit Baby River’s wake on Wednesday from 1 to 4 pm and her burial on Friday from 1 to 4 pm at the Manila North Cemetery.
After the court granted the urgent motion filed by Nasino’s lawyer on Tuesday, the official in charge of the female dormitory at the Manila City Jail, J / Insp. Ignacia Monteron filed a request to shorten the activist’s license. the official cited the lack of prison staff on appeal.
Baby River died on October 9 of pneumonia after being in the hospital for two weeks. Despite several calls for a meeting due to her son’s deteriorating health, the 23-year-old activist was not allowed to see her son.
Nasino was separated from her baby on August 13, following a July 30 order from the Manila RTC saying that the prison is not a place for babies, especially as the country faces the COVID-19 pandemic.
Nasino and his two colleagues were arrested at Bagong Alyansang Makabayan or Bayan office on November 5, 2019, for alleged possession of weapons and explosives. Rights group Karapatan said the evidence was planted.
