Guevarra defends DOJ against CHR transparency claims
Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra defended the Department of Justice (DOJ) against the Commission on Human Rights' (CHR) claim that the DOJ lacks transparency regarding inmate deaths at New Bilibid Prison.
Guevarra stated that the DOJ has been investigating 'strange things' happening at BuCor and ordered the NBI to intervene.
The CHR had reached out to the DOJ in June for information on deceased inmates, COVID-19 conditions, and health facility capacity but did not receive a response.
The commission also reported receiving complaints from inmates' families.
