“The Chinese immigration authorities’ treatment of retired Justice Conchita Carpio-Morales is deplorable and totally without basis […] Our Department of Foreign Affairs should take immediate steps to protest Justice Carpio-Morales’ treatment by the Chinese immigration authorities,” Diokno added. Morales was supposed to go spend vacation in Hong Kong with her husband, children and grandchildren. ADVERTISEMENT“Justice Carpio-Morales does not pose a security risk to China. The fact that she and Ambassador Albert deI Rosario sought the intervention of the ICC does not make her a security risk. One is not a security risk just because she is exercising her right, under international law, to seek the relief from an international court,” Diokno added.
