Fides Lim ‘sour graping’ – BuCor
The Bureau of Corrections (BuCor) is open to an investigation into its operations following allegations of rights violations and "authoritarian practices" by a spokesperson for a rights group.
BuCor Director General Gregorio Catapang stated that the agency is transparent and ready to collaborate with oversight bodies.
The permanent ban on Fides Lim, spokesperson for Kapatid, was described as a necessary security measure and not an attack on the group's mission.
Catapang clarified that the prohibition was against an individual who allegedly disregarded rules, not against Kapatid or their efforts to support persons deprived of liberty (PDLs).
BuCor cited Lim's alleged "habitual misconduct" as a potential risk to the stability of correctional facilities.
