Poll fraud alert: Kabataan canvass watchers harassed by military, barred from provincial canvassing in La Union
Kabataan Party-list received reports at 12:10pm today that two of its canvass watchers in La Union were harassed by military elements and prevented from entering the provincial canvassing center.
Luis Santos and Paula Espiritu recounted that they were on their way to the provincial capitol to relieve the morning canvass watch shift when they were blocked by military and police elements in a checkpoint.
They were asked to line up and present their identification. Santos and Espiritu complied and showed their canvass watch IDs.
Upon seeing that they were members and volunteers of Kabataan Party-list, one of the soldiers reportedly said, “Nandito ang best friend mo.”
The chief of police immediately approached them and told them that they were not needed in the canvassing.
While undergoing verbal harassment by the soldiers and policemen, the two noticed that an intelligence officer was taking their photographs and video footages.
Santos and Espiritu eventually decided to quit their attempt to reach the provincial capitol and headed back home. ###
