MANILA, Philippines — The Human Rights Watch urged presidential candidates to pledge to drop charges against detained Sen. Leila De Lima, who will mark her year day in detention on Thursday.

 

Asia director at HRW Brad Adams said in a statement: “Senator de Lima’s long-term wrongful detention exemplifies the lawlessness and cruelty of the Duterte administration.”

 

“Candidates for president should commit to free De Lima immediately and to rebuild the Philippines’ tarnished criminal justice system to meet international standards,” Adams added.
