Ángeles Béjar, the mother of Spanish football federation president Luis Rubiales, locked herself in a church and is on hunger strike in protest of her son’s treatment, according to an ESPN report.

Béjar shut herself inside the church of the Divine Shepherdess in Rubiales’ hometown of Motril, Andalusia on Monday, EFE reported.

Rubiales, who received a provisional 90-day suspension on Friday, has made headline after his unsolicited kiss on Spain player Jenni Hermoso.

Béjar said her protest would continue until the “inhuman, bloodthirsty witch hunt which my son is being subjected to” comes to an end.

She added: “There is no sexual abuse since there is consent on both sides, as the images prove… My son is incapable of hurting anyone.”

Rubiales’ cousin, Vanessa Ruiz Béjar, confirmed to Teledeporte that his mother was on hunger strike, saying: “This is very hard. To say that there is a harassment is not fair.

“That his mom, who is a person of great faith, has taken refuge in God and is on a hunger strike and does not want to leave the church. That his family is suffering very much on his behalf. It is not fair what is happening.

“He has been judged ahead of time and he should be left in peace. We want Jenni to tell the truth. Why has she changed her story three times? Our family has been harassed. This woman should tell the truth. Jenni, you should tell the truth. We want Jenni to tell the truth.

“The way they are treating with him, the aggression, the feminists, the television, it seems to me shameful. All the people who are taking advantage of the situation, it is shameful.”
