Manghaharass sa frontline workers mahaharap sa 1-6 buwang kulong

DAPAT umanong hulihin at kasuhan ang mga nanghaharass at nagdi-discriminate sa mga frontline workers .

Ayon kay Albay Rep. Edcel Lagman ang mga manghaharass sa mga health workers ay maaaring maharap sa kasong light threats , grave coercion, light coercion at unjust vexation na may parusang isa hanggang anim na buwang pagkakakulong.

“Without the invaluable dedication and courage of these anti-coronavirus warriors, many of whom have already died including 17 doctors, the spread of the deadly virus could have escalated beyond imaginable proportions in the Philippines,” ani Lagman.

Kamakailan ay isang empleyado ng ospital sa Sultan Kudarat ang sinabayan ng bleach sa mukha.

Mayroon din umanong mga hospital workers na hindi pinasasakay at itinataboy sa kanilang komunidad sa takot na maiuwi nito sa kanila ang COVID-19.

“The forced cleansing of these medical workers with bleach and other detergents by their own community neighbors, their alienation including their children and families, and their unwarranted eviction from their leased premises, constitute threats and coercion which are punishable under Articles 283, 286 and 287 of the Revised Penal Code,” saad ng mambabatas.
