BuCor permanently bans Kapatid spox Fides Lim from entering prison camps
Kapatid is questioning the Department of Justice (DOJ) regarding the Bureau of Corrections' (BuCor) ban on spokesperson Fides Lim from entering prison facilities.
Lim discovered she was banned when her photo was displayed with a "banned" marking at the Correctional Institution for Women's entrance.
BuCor states the ban has been permanent since April 29 due to alleged repeated violations and unruly behavior, citing instances of "defiance, arrogance, and disruptive conduct towards corrections officers" from February to October 2024.
The agency also mentioned Lim's disregard for security measures, impatience with procedural verification, and confrontational conduct towards authorities.
Lim stated in a previous letter that her purpose is to assist political prisoners and uphold their right to survival with dignity.
BuCor maintains that procedures must be followed when visiting persons deprived of liberty (PDLs), emphasizing order and security protocols for a safe environment.
