Jailed Philippine activist Reina Mae Nasino wanted to hold her three-month-old daughter for the last time before she was laid to rest on Friday ...

A digital photograph of jailed Filipino activist Reina Mae Nasino's three-month-old baby River, is placed beside her coffin before she is buried, in Manila North Cemetery, Philippines, Oct 16, 2020. MANILA: Jailed Philippine activist Reina Mae Nasino wanted to hold her three-month-old daughter for the last time before she was laid to rest on Friday but she could not.

Detained Filipino activist Reina Mae Nasino, in a hazmat suit for protection against the coronavirus, opens her three-month-old daughter's coffin, who died while she was in jail, in Manila North Cemetery, Philippines, Oct 16, 2020. Nasino, a member of the urban poverty group Kadamay, was arrested in November 2019 with two others for unlawful possession of firearms – charges she said were trumped up and part of a crackdown against left-leaning activists.

Wearing a full-body personal protective equipment suit while standing in the heat of the sun, Nasino told her baby:"I hope we will be the last to experience this."The solemn occasion turned chaotic as police officers in camouflage uniforms dispersed the funeral procession and told the hearse carrying the coffin to speed up, forcing mourners to run after the vehicle.
