Wazzup Pilipinas!
If you can't do the time, don't do the crime, especially when the lawmakers also break the law by inflicting violations to your rights as human beings. It seems this administration has a penchant to do several crimes against humanity.
The Commission on Human Rights should conduct an investigation regarding what happened at the Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center.
Several photos have been shown having inmates stripped naked, and all of them at once., by the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA).
The UN Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners states that "intrusive searches, including strip and body cavity searches, should be undertaken only if absolutely necessary." These prisoners could have just been subjected to a thorough search (frisking, if you may call it), instead of degrading them by dressing them down like animals waiting to be slaughtered.
But once you share the photos all over social media, that may be seen as an act of public shaming.
The mandate of the CHR is to investigate potential human rights abuses of LAW ENFORCEMENT and GOVERNMENT AGENCIES against civilians, suspects, prisoners, etc. They have a great of work under the current administration who knows nothing but to abuse the rights of the people.
Everyone was not given a choice and stripping down was mandatory. This is a clear violation of human rights. They are inmates of which many are not yet convicted criminals. They are still entitled to rights just like you.
