Together with other curfew violators, they were made to do 300 rounds of squats. Peñaredondo, who has an underlying heart condition, could barely walk home and was in a lot of pain on his way home.

Men in civilian clothing interrogated her and told her that if she does not tell the truth, something bad will happen to her. 53 When she did not answer, she was electrocuted in her palms using a taser gun. Due to fear, she mentioned random names of her relatives and friends hoping the interrogation and electrocution would stop. She was electrocuted in her abdomen for failing to name the third person. She was then brought to the beach to identify where the suspects live. 54 She was brought home where uniformed policemen and tanods gathered around their house and inspected her belongings for stolen valuables. A bag and a cellphone were confiscated from their house. 55 She was then brought back to the computer laboratory of the police station to check her Facebook’s friends list and was threatened to be electrocuted again. She was then taken to the Women and Children Protection Desk. She is currently undergoing psychosocial intervention.
