From the Manila Standard Today (Jun 6): Gabriela lawmaker: Release former info officer
Gabriela Representative Emmi De Jesus has appealed to the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group to release Sharon Cabusao, former public information officer of said group and currently consultant of the Crispin Beltran Resource Center.
De Jesus said Cabusao has thyroid and blood-related diseases and that she should be immediately released from CIDG detention.
“Her current situation could worsen her medical condition. We appeal for her immediate and unconditional release,” she said.
Cabusao was arrested with her husband Adelberto, alleged leader of the Communist Party of the Philippines-New People’s Army-National Democratic Front, and Isidro de Lima, driver, last Tuesday in Bacoor, Cavite.
The main target of CIDG’s warrant was Adelberto who was facing 15 counts of murder before a court. But during the arrest, the arresting team claimed they found firearms and explosives from the group.
Earlier, Karapatan secretary-general Cristina Palabay claimed Silva is a peace consultant of the NDF and de Jesus concurred. But military Public Affairs Office (PAO) chief Lieutenant Harold Cabunoc said Silva was Wilma Tiamzon’s replacement after she and her husband, Benito, top CPP-NPA-NDF leader, along with 5 others were arrested in March 2014 in Cebu.
“We strongly condemn the illegal arrest and detention of Ms. Sharon Cabusao, former Gabriela officer and women’s rights advocate and we call for her immediate and unconditional release. She was arrested without any warrant and the case filed against her holds no merit,” said De Jesus.
She said the CIDG have accused Cabusao of “harbouring a criminal” after their arrest.

It's just the commies attempting to take care of their own. Emmi De Jesus is a long time CPP activist and is now a congressional representative of the Gabriela Women's Party (GWP), a political spinoff from the CPP sectoral front General Assembly Binding Women for Reform Integrity, Equality, Leadership and Action (GABRIELA). The sectoral group is a founding member of the CPP umbrella front organization Bagong Alyansang Makabayan (BAYAN-New Patriotic Alliance).
