Very recently, a 12 members of a EU delegations visited the senator in the PNP custodial center where she was incarcerated. And they're asking for her immediate release as they checked on her.
Hon. Tolentino (Presidential Adviser of Pres. Rody Duterte):
"I think they have the wrong premise to start with they're equating Sen. De Lima as a prisoner of conscience. It's wrong! She was not jailed because of her political convictions, like nelson Mandela, like the counselor of Myanmar. She was jailed because of drug charges.
That's a special crime here in the Philippines. So, it's not because of her political conviction fighting for something that would benefit a large segments of the populates. She was jailed because of drug charges. So, probably the EU members were misled, as of the reasons behind her incarceration."
"..So, I think it was based on a wrong premise.."
