“Yet, in the case of petitioner [Reyes] she has been and continues to be under detention now for a period of six years, seven months, or for 2,409 and counting, the end beyond perception,” read the writ.
Last year, Reyes filed a motion for provisional release on May 27, basing her request on reports that Camp Bagong Diwa might be dangerous for inmates as congestion poses a greater risk for coronavirus disease transmissions. Her plea also argues that although she was only 57 years old, she has several underlying health conditions that make her vulnerable to the disease.
In her latest bid for freedom, Reyes noted that others who are similarly facing plunder charges have been released such as former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo who was acquitted by the High Court.
