MANILA, Philippines — Lawyers representing the families of victims of Jovito Palparan has asked the Court of Appeals to cite SMNI Network and Presidential Communications Undersecretary Lorraine Badoy for contempt over their interview of the convicted former general.

The National Union of Peoples’ Lawyers has also asked the Court of Appeals First Division to order the Bureau of Corrections to move Palparan to the Maximum Security Facility from the Minimum Security Facility where he has reportedly been staying since he was transferred to the New Bilibid Prison.

The lawyers, who served as private prosecutors in the case, also urged the CA to direct the denial of all requests from the media to interview Palparan and "terminate all the special privileges and treatment" for the convicted kidnapper.
