The Office of the Ombudsman has dismissed the criminal and administrative complaints filed by the Commission on Human Rights (CHR) against Manila policemen over a hidden cell that was discovered in 2017.
A nine-page resolution approved by Deputy Ombudsman Cyril Ramos in December 2020 said the CHR failed to establish probable cause against the cops from Raxabago Police Station 1 and had insufficient evidence to prove that the police acted in bad faith.
“It is beyond dispute that the twelve newly arrested persons were detained inside a cramped space,” said the Ombudsman’s resolution, a copy of which was obtained by GMA News Online.
