MANILA, Philippines — The lawyers of detained activist Reina Mae Nasino filed on Monday a supplemental manifestation before the court handling her case about the “cruel and inhuman” she got from law enforcement agencies during the wake and burial of her three-month-old daughter River. ADVERTISEMENTThe lawyers said the burial of River — who died of respiratory illness — took place with the interference of the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) and the Philippine National Police (PN). Nasino then asked that River be allowed to stay with her, but the court did not budge. Last Oct. 10, after showing coronavirus symptoms, River died while inside the intensive care unit of the Philippine General Hospital.
