A household employee of Negros Oriental Representative Arnolfo Teves Jr. on Monday filed a complaint with the Commission on Human Rights (CHR) against the police for the alleged illegal arrest and detention of her and her husband.
In her complaint, Oray said heavily armed CIDG operatives forcefully entered their home last March 10 around 4 a.m. based on a photograph of search warrant on an operative's mobile phone.
The CIDG operatives, Oray said, also asked her several times to admit that she was told by Teves to pay a "killer." "Kailangan ko daw sabihin ang mga nalalaman ko daw po kay Cong. Arnie, na aminin ko daw po na ako ang inutusan ni Cong. Arnie na magbayad sa mga killer daw po. Sabi ko po sa kanya wala po akong alam sa mga bagay na iyan, sir, nasa opisina lang po ako," Oray added.
Oray's counsel Diokno, meanwhile, said the fact that Oray was released after five days of detention due to lack of probable cause proves shows that they have a strong case against the CIDG.
