| Subject: A jailed Philippine activist is forced to attend her infant's funeral in handcuffs and a hazmat suit Thu Oct 22, 2020 5:55 am | |
| The infant girl lay in a white coffin adorned with purple and yellow flowers, a ceramic bunny and pink slippers.
Her name was River. She was born into poverty, the daughter of Reina Mae Nasino, a 23-year-old activist in one of Manila's most desperate slums, who was arrested last year as part of the Philippine government’s relentless crackdown on human rights workers.
River was separated shortly after birth from her jailed, nursing mother. She died of pneumonia this month in the care of her grandmother. Her plight and the handling of her funeral last week have ignited outrage in the Philippines, a country where conditions for human rights defenders have deteriorated under the administration of President Rodrigo Duterte.
Nasino was given six hours to leave jail to attend River's wake and burial in a Manila cemetery after a judge denied her request for a three-day furlough.
