CEBU CITY – The Commission on Human Rights in Central Visayas (CHR Region 7) has started looking into allegations that a police station here had a secret detention cell where some arrested individuals were tortured.

Leo Villarino, chief investigator of CHR Region 7, inspected the alleged secret jail of the Sawang Calero Police Station Tuesday.

Excluding Sanchez, 11 personnel had been charged with various cases after they allegedly extorted money from the woman whom they picked up from her house in Minglanilla, Cebu for allegedly keeping illegal drugs. “I was accused of selling illegal drugs,” the woman said as she and the other complainant described how the secret jail looked like during their detention.

Police Col. Josefino Ligan, chief of the Cebu City Police Office , conducted a surprise inspection at Sawang Calero Police Station last Maundy Thursday but said he didn’t find a “secret jail.”
