Philippines urged to act on jail ?purgatory?
MANILA: Images of hellish conditions at an overcrowded Philippines jail triggered calls on Thursday from lawmakers and rights groups for swift reforms to the penal system which is under strain from an anti-***** *****down.
AFP photographs of the Quezon City Jail, where thousands of inmates are forced to sleep on stairs or on *****ed cement floors in unimaginable squalor, highlighted the crisis which is worsening under President Rodrigo Duterte’s war on crime. "It’s an image straight out of Dante’s ‘Purgatory’," Human Rights Watch said, referring to the 13th century Italian writer’s description of the realm where souls await judgement. "Hundreds of half-naked men sprawled on the pavement in the sweltering heat, desperately trying to sleep amid the cramped chaos... It’s an actual snapshot of horrific overcrowding in the Philippines’ jails." The situation at Quezon City jail is by ** means isolated, the New York-based group added, with many other Filipi** jails also failing to meet minimum United Nations standards for nutrition and sanitation. أكثر... ??????? ??????: Philippines urged to act on jail ?purgatory? || ??????: ahlam1399 || ??????: اسم منتداك
