Hacktivists on Saturday defaced the website of the Philippine Embassy in Bahrain, following the death of an overseas Filipino worker there.

As of 5 a.m. Saturday, visitors to the site of the Philippine embassy in Bahrain were greeted with a popup box with the message "Justice for Kathleen Ann Ilagan!"

The defacement was still live as of 12:50 p.m. Saturday.

Clicking on "Ok" will take the visitor to a page with a black background and a black ribbon calling for "Justice for Ann Ann."

The message in the defaced site said Ilagan was found dead in the Bahrain Embassy, in an alleged suicide.

"Earlier this month, she left her job and proceeded to the Philippine embassy and sought repatriation. She was admitted at the Philippine embassy’s shelter while attending on her case and repatriation," it said.

It said her family could not accept the allegation that she committed suicide as she "had no serious problems that will lead her to end even her own life."

The hacktivists, who also included an image of a person wearing a Guy Fawkes mask, challenged Philippine authorities and even political candidates running in the May 13 polls to act.

"To all the government authorities and all political candidates who oath to serve and protect the rights of each citizens... this is the right time to do your actions," they said.

A report on Bahrain's Gulf Daily News dated April 10 cited sources who said Ilagan, 32, was found hanging in a bathroom at the Philippine embassy's shelter for abused domestic workers.

It said another resident in the shelter found her, but embassy officials were unavailable for comment.

Her body was transferred to the Salmaniya Medical Complex morgue, it added. — LBG, GMA News

just to try to be objective kuno...

what are they insinuating?  that someone else hanged her?

can loved ones really know in no uncertain terms if a family member wants to commit suicide?

are embassies and consulates supposed to keep a suicide watch 24 hours a day?

this is going to have political repercussions because of the potential for visibility of politicians; pro-poor, pro-ofw hero kintahay.  poor ambassador.  he may be asked to come home soon before his tour of duty is up.
