Former justice secretary Leila de Lima’s “posturing” as a defender of human rights as part of her bid for a Senate seat is sheer “hypocrisy,” former Basketball Association of the Philippines secretary general Graham Lim said yesterday.
Lim said he has been on “exile” abroad for three years in an Asian country since De Lima issued a Department of Justice (DOJ) circular that prevented his return from Singapore in December 2012.
Lim said he lived in the Philippines until he was forced into exile after she reportedly “unduly” reversed an earlier DOJ ruling declaring him a “stateless” person in September 2010 or one who may be allowed permanent residency in the Philippines.
He said De Lima applied a ruling that was not yet in existence at the time of his exile to justify his deportation over his citizenship in 2012.
