Detained Filipino activist Reina Mae Nasino holds a flower on the burial of her three-month-old baby River, who died while she was in jail, in Manila North Cemetery, Manila, Philippines, October 16, 2020.
Wearing a full-body personal protective equipment suit while standing in the heat of the sun, Nasino told her baby in a tiny white coffin: “I hope we will be the last to experience this.”
Nasino, a member of the urban poverty group @KadamayNtnl, was arrested in November 2019 with two others for unlawful possession of firearms - charges she said were trumped up and part of a crackdown against left-leaning activists.
