CHR condemns red-tagging of community pantry organizers

It is “shameful and politicking actions of the few ideologically bent” said the CHR on those who forced a stop on the operations of a community pantry on Maginhawa Street in Quezon City.

“It is thus concerning that this initiative, as well as the other community pantries that have followed, are under the threat of profiling and surveillance by local law enforcement authorities and are subject to red-tagging across various accounts in social media,” De Guia, a lawyer, said. “In this context, we remind the government, particularly local law enforcement officers, that collecting data, including the affiliation of community pantry organizers, is an encroachment upon the right to privacy of citizens and represents yet again an overreach and abuse of police power bereft of any statutory or legal basis,” she stressed.

“It is not proper for law enforcement agents to interrogate him unless there is reason to believe that he is violating any law, ordinance, rule or regulation for the good or welfare of the community,” he explained.
