Yesterday, around 10 a.m. in the morning, Lydia Malaborbor was harassed by two individuals who introduced themselves as military officers.
Lydia is the mother of Rey Irvine Malaborbor, a political prisoner, arrested in 2019 on trumped-up charges of murder and illegal possession of firearms.
These individuals claimed that her son has been arrested and is currently detained in Mindoro due to alleged involvement with the New People’s Army.
The military officers took pictures of Malaborbor without her consent while encouraging her to “cooperate” with them.
Malaborbor felt threatened for her and her son’s security.Karapatan Laguna condemns the actions of the military that aims to threaten, harass, and intimidate families of political prisoners. We call an end to these kind of attacks and to free all political prisoners!
