Gabriela demands probe vs cops
By Annabelle L. Ricalde
* Both Swedish nationals diagnosed with acute gastroenteritis with mild dehydration, others, and are likely to remain 3 to 5 days in the hospital, police official says
* Police could have called on government doctors when suspects complained of health problems, Gabriela says
* Police officials appeared to have issued conflicting statements surrounding Swedes' hospital confinement
MILITANTS will stage a picket during Thursday’s preliminary investigation of the two Swedish nationals accused of operating a cybersex den in Cagayan de Oro.
Gabriela, a militant group advocating for women’s rights, also call on authorities to investigate the local police for the alleged “special treatment” given to the foreigners.
Gabriela said local officials should launch a probe on the Swedes’ “confinement” at a local hospital, as police appeared to have issued confusing accounts on how the suspects were allowed to go out of their cell.
Police Chief Inspector Aaron Mandia, chief of City Mobile Group (CMG), the unit in charge of guarding Bo Stefan Sederholms and Emil Andreas Solemo, said the suspects are confined at Cagayan University Medical Center (CUMC).
But acting City Police Director Noel P. Armilla said Sederholms and Solemo are confined at the Madonna and Child Hospital. A police officer at the Maharlika Headquarters also told Sun.Star the Swedes were brought to Madonna for a medical check-up.
Mandia said police brought the Swedes to Madonna last Sunday evening, but were refused admission because the hospital could only accommodate children.
Armilla also said Monday that Sederholms and Solemo were to be released Tuesday, and were expected to be committed to the bigger Lumbia City Jail.
However, Mandia said the suspects will remain at CUMC for the next three to five days upon the recommendation of their physician, Dr. Ramon F. Moreno.
Solemo and Sederholms were both diagnosed with acute gastroenteritis with mild dehydration; borderline hypertension and hypokalemia, secondary to acute gastroenteritis, the police official said, citing the Swedes’ medical certificates.
"Pareho yata ng sakit ang dalawa. Ang pinagkaiba lang ay yung kay Sederholms with dehydration talaga, compare with Solemo na mild lang ang dehydration," Mandia told Sun.Star Cagayan de Oro.
Mandia’s statement contradicted Armilla’s account of the suspects’ reason of confinement saying only one of the two suspects had complained of “chest pain”.
Police had no explanation why the two were brought to the hospital when only one of them had complained of “chest pain”, a condition that differs from Solemo and Sederholms’ latest diagnoses.
Armilla, who claimed he had no knowledge of the Swedes’ hospital confinement, said the police officers, had only acted based on “judgment call.”
Kristine Lim, Gabriela regional coordinator, said “nobody was impressed” with the police’s conflicting statements surrounding the Swedes’ hospitalization.
“There are reasons to doubt of these health claims, first being the process in which they were let out of their cells like thieves in the night,” Lim said.
Lim said the proper procedures would have been to ask permission from the court, or the government prosecutors—even on an informal basis.
If the permission from proper authorities was not immediately possible, she said the police could have contacted government physicians to attend to the health conditions of the suspects.
“But the police chose to throw the rules and by doing so, have manifested their partiality toward the suspects,” she said. “Anyone in his or her right mind could say that the police gave the foreigners especial treatment.”
Lim, whose group is taking custody of at least eight female “models” allegedly employed by Sederholms and Solemo’s cybersex operations, said the local police “will remain in the negative spotlight as long as the suspects are enjoying the cozy amenities of the hospital rather than being in jail.”
Mandia said the two are likely to remain in the hospital, pending the commitment order from the City Prosecutors Office.
Sederholms and Solemo were arrested late last week following a raid on a suspected cybersex den located along a busy national highway.
Along with four others, they were charged by the National Bureau of Investigation with trafficking in persons, a non-bailable offense.
Mandia said police were also unsure whether to bring the suspects to the Hall of Justice for Thursday’s preliminary investigation, saying the Swedes’ health conditions may also be considered in the decision to discharge them from the hospital.
