Rebel detainee’s brod not allowed to enter CPDRC
January 29, 2012

 THE brother of a rebel detainee was prevented yesterday from visiting him in the Cebu provincial jail for lack of a permit from the governor’s office.
The restriction was denounced by family and colleagues of detainee Ramon Patriarca as a violation of his visitation rights.

Patriarca’s brother, Jesus, a retired policeman, tried to see his sibling in the Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center (CPDRC) but guards wouldn’t let him in because he didn’t show a permit from the office of Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia.

Jesus waited till past 3 p.m. but wasn’t granted permission.

Ramon, who is facing rebellion charges, said he has started a hunger strike to protest his sudden transfer from the Danao city jail, where he was detained for three years while his trial is going on.

The court ordered his transfer to a military stockade but Patriarca was temporarily placed in the CPDRC.
