As Imelda Marcos marks 92nd birthday, ex-martial law prisoners say 'jail her'

MANILA — Political prisoners during the martial law era gave an unusual "greeting" to the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos' widow Imelda Marcos, who is celebrating her 92nd birthday.FULL STATEMENT: https://t.co/ymz08IlTwO pic.twitter.com/9U1O8Wq25o

"As she roams freely in her lavish mansion and celebrates her birthday in her extravagant fashion, we will always be reminded of her and her family's crimes and plunder of the nation's coffers," said Rosalia Bacarra, the group's secretary general. In 2018, the Sandiganbayan 5th Division found Marcos guilty in 7 counts of graft for using her Cabinet position to maintain Swiss bank accounts during her husband's presidency and dictatorship from 1965 to 1986. She was sentenced to imprisonment of not less than 42 years – six to 11 years for each count of graft.

According to SELDA, the failure to enforce the penalties of Marcos' conviction was "very frustrating." The group also lamented that sick and old political prisoners are languishing in Philippine jails and are not afforded similar legal remedies.

She can have her party-party in jail. Why is the arrest warrant still not enforced?

She will pay in her next life.

sshh wag naman kayo ganyan, mga gen z ngaun baka ma trigger
