5 days agoPhilippines: Are terror laws being used to silence critics?
The conviction last week of community journalist Frenchie Mae Cumpio has intensified concerns in the Philippines about how counterterrorism laws are being applied, particularly their impact on critical journalism and civic dissent. After nearly six years in detention awaiting trial, Cumpio was convicted on January 22 of financing terrorism and sentenced to 12 to 18 years in prison. She denies the charges.
