A U.S.-based women’s rights group is accusing the Filipino government of preventing three of its members from returning home to Los Angeles. The women from the Gabriela Network traveled to the Philippines last month to attend the Women’s International Solidarity Affair. The chair of the organization, Annalisa Enrile, was blocked from traveling home on August 5 and told she was on a watch list. Two other members of the Gabriela Network, Ninotchka Rosca and Judith Mirkinson, are also reportedly on the watch list. On Sunday the women accused the Filipino government of using the recently implemented Human Security Act to turn the Philippines into “a vast prison.”
