Detained Alegre Family sees hope in Papal visit
Submitted on Tue, 01/13/2015 - 11:01
Dear Pope Francis,
Your visit to the Philippines brings a ray of hope to people like us who have experienced wanton injustice. Our family has suffered so much. My son was killed and my wife, my other son, Selman, and I have been languishing in jails for the past 10 years for offense we never committed. We are just simple people striving to live decently until the powerful leader in our town took interest in the piece of land we are tilling and did everything to get rid of us. My wife and I are old and ailing. We just want to see our children and grandchildren once more before we die.—Alegre family (Jesus, Moreta and Selman)
