Wives of prisoners deprived of liberty on Monday filed a complaint before the Commission on Human Rights against the strip search they experienced at the New Bilibid Prison in April.According to KAPATID, a support group for families of political prisoners, the search took place at the visiting area of the NBP Maximum Security Compound, which is under the Inmate Visitation Service Unit, on April 21.
“I was nearly in tears and trembling as I lifted my t-shirt and bra, and also removed my pants and panties. I was made to squat three times and then bend over while opening my private parts to check for any hidden illegal items,” Gloria Almonte said. Meanwhile, another wife, Maricel, said she had to repeat the procedure 10 times.The searcher said I wasn't doing it right and to do it properly next time. It was really traumatic and shameful to experience such things,” she said.
