Southeast Asian lawmakers today called for all charges to be dropped against Maria Ressa, Chief Executive Officer and executive editor of the news site Rappler, who was arrested yesterday on cyber libel charge carrying up to 12 years' imprisonment.
"These flimsy charges are clearly politically motivated. Maria Ressa's arrest is the latest in a long line of attacks on independent media in the Philippines, which is reeling from sustained harassment under the administration of President Rodrigo Duterte. It shows the extent to which the Philippine government is willing to go in its bid to silence critics within the media. All charges against Maria Ressa must be dropped immediately," said APHR Chairperson Charles Santiago, a member of the Malaysian parliament, echoing calls from amongst the Philippine media community.
On 13 February, at about 5pm, Maria Ressa was arrested by officers from the National Bureau of Investigation for allegedly committing libel under Section 4(C)(4) of the 2012 Cybercrime Prevention Act – a law that has previously been criticized by human rights organizations as a serious threat to freedom of expression. She was released on bail today.
