Philippines - Dutch protester ejected
Print Edition
A DUTCH activist blamed for making a Philippine policeman cry was deported and permanently banned from the country, the immigration bureau said on Thursday.
The bureau said Thomas van Beersum was deported on Wednesday after the authorities had picked him out from a photograph that went viral showing him allegedly haranguing an uniformed police officer at an anti-government protest in Manila last month. Van Beersum is an “undesirable alien” who violated the terms of his tourist visa by joining a protest, immigration officials said.
The officer later said he was crying from exhaustion and hunger after a long stint securing the area.
