Justice Secretary Leila De Lima confirmed on Monday that Chinese fugitive Bo Wang remained in the Bureau of Immigration and Deportation (BID) detention facility.
Wang’s lawyer, Dennis Manalo, questioned his client’s safety on Friday, saying that Wang was being isolated and denied access to counsel and visitors.
Manalo said his client may have been subjected to torture after he was isolated by authorities in Camp Bagong Diwa in Taguig since Tuesday.
“With the current violation of his right to counsel, we fear for the safety of our client. I do not know what is happening to him anymore or what will happen to him. I have not seen him and authorities at Camp Bagong Diwa, where I last saw him and where he is being held, refuse to show him to us,” Manalo said in an interview to radio station dzRH.
