Biography

Jerome was a Muslim Filipino human-rights defender detained by U.S. Customs and Border Protection at San Francisco International Airport April 17–19, 2018. The newsletter’s October 2019 rally announcement reports his allegations of physical and psychological torture and efforts to obtain detention records. These are attributed allegations, not judicial findings. The source establishes U.S. airport detention, not a criminal conviction or foreign prison term.
