JUSTICE FOR KATHLEEN - All she wanted was to go home.

News item : Investigation urged on OFW’s death in Bahrain, Bulatlat.com#sthash.oE2CwKlZ.dpuf

Three months passed since the demise of Kathleen Ann Viray Ilagan, reported dead hanging herslf with a cord on the bathroom door knob of the Philippine Embassy shelter for distressed OFWs by the Philippine Embassy in Bahrain on the 12 April 2013. Kathleen, who was a 31- year old OFW working as Pastry chef in Bahrain and a girl mother of 3 children.

Since her death, no light has been shed on the questions by her family, friends  and co-OFWs around the globe. The fact that she was reported to have hung herself on a waist-high door knob has raised much doubts. Her mother expressed her doubts in a letter to the president of the Republic asking for independent probe on the circumstances of the death of Kathleen remained unanswered both by the Office of the President anjd the Philippine embassy in Bahrain.

What was the truth? The silence from Philippine authorities suggest a cover up. In the light of sex abuse scandals in the Philippine embassies in Middle East, some OFWs fear she may have been a victim. Her friends and family denies any serious problem that may cause herr to commit suicide. According to her mother and sister, all she wanted was to go home to her little ones. She has told them of her plans for the future, something that one who plans to end own life would not do.

NOW PLEASE… WE WANT THE TRUTH! WE DEMAND JUSTICE FOR OUR SISTER KATHLEEN!!!
