In November 2019, Nasino, Alma Moran and Ram Carlo Bautista were arrested by the police during a raid on the Bayan office in Tondo, Manila, and charged with illegal possession of firearms and explosives.At that time, Nasino was pregnant and she later gave birth to a baby girl, River, while in detention.
But the court rejected her plea, citing the jail’s lack of resources to accommodate her and her baby. River was afterward turned over to Nasino’s mother but at the age of 2 months, she developed pneumonia. Nasino again went to court to ask if she could visit her child in the hospital but River died before the court could act on her request.
“The treatment of Reina Mae Nasino and her Baby River from the state has violated international standards of treatment of prisoners and children,” the ICHRP British Columbia, Canada chapter also commented.In December 2022, Nasino, Moran and Bautista were released from jail after the court allowed them to post bail.
