BAS 012 Patrick Coughlan - BringEannaHome

In 2013 Eanna O’Cochlain, a native of Blackrock in Cork, was arrested in a Philippino airport and was sentenced to 12 years in prison for alleged possession of 0.38 grams of marijuana. Eanna wholly disputes this possession.

His brother Patrick, who is campaigning for his release, talks here about the arrest of Eanna, how it took place as well as the numerous holes in the case. He also theorises as to why the arrest might have occurred and the nature of common place corruption within the Philippines.

Patrick is a man who doesn’t pull his punches and says how he feels and thinks in this honest and open account of the whole situation, and at times moved to tears when recalling certain things.
