JUSTICE FOR KATHLEEN: Unveil the truth!!!
By Belarmino D. Saguing, Rome, Italy 09.08.2013 1616 EST
The
body of Kathleen Ann Viray Ilagan, who is reported to have committed suicide
inside a shelter run by the Philippine embassy in the Kingdom of Bahrain, the
Middle East, on April 10, arrived at Ninoy Aquino International Airport on
April 17 at 11.00am on board a Gulf Air flight.
Doubts
about Ilagan’s gruesome death lingers, since the police report states that she
had hung herself on a doorknob, which is only waist-high.
Even
the cord used in the hanging is surrounded by questions. It is impossible that
Kathleen could find a rope in the shelter, as there is no clothesline there,
according to some wards of the shelter.
Why has
no one saw her, as the shelter has little privacy. And where were the embassy
personnel?
While
there were repatriation documents and police reports, no autopsy report was
included in the papers inserted in Ilagan’s casket. Why so? It is most
irregular. Something is terribly wrong with the official story.
For one thing, there is a time difference in
the repatriation formalities between the remains of a migrant worker who died
mysteriously and one who dies a natural death due to illness or accident, the repatriation of Ilagan’s body only took two to three days, while
in most cases there is anything from a three- to six-month wait for a body to
be repatriated.
Why has
the embassy did not conduct a thorough investigation into her death. Are they
hiding something?
Ilagan’s
family said that she had quit her job in the Middle East to seek shelter at the
Philippine embassy and even though she is home now, their great pain is that
she was dead on arrival.
Her
family says that they do not believe that she would commit suicide and that the
last text message they received from her said that her only desire in life was
to go home.
The
ambassador to Bahrain should explain himself to Kathleen’s family and to the
Filipino communities, not only in Bahrain, but to all migrant workers who
deserve protection while seeking temporary shelter in embassies around the
world.
‘The
family plans to have an autopsy carried out on Kathleen’s body to find out what
was the real cause of her death’
UNVEIL THE MYSTERY AROUND KATHLEEN’S DEATH TO UNCOVER
THE TRUTH THAT LEADS TO JUSTICE NOW !!!
