MANILA, Philippines (Updated 4:42 p.m.) — Petitioners against the Anti-Terrorism Act of 2020 on Wednesday filed an appeal to partly reverse the Supreme Court’s historic ruling that mostly kept the law intact in the face of 37 legal challenges.

 

Twenty-six groups of petitioners, through their lawyers, filed a joint motion for partial reconsideration and asked the SC to “partially reconsider” its December 7 ruling and declare the Republic Act 11479 or ATA as unconstitutional.

 

Petitioners represented by the Free Legal Assistance Group filed a supplemental motion for reconsideration that also sought for the issuance of a temporary restraining order.
