UN rapporteur visits 3 red-tagged political prisoners in TaclobanIrene Khan, UN Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of the right to freedom of opinion and expression, waves during a visit at the Department of Justice in Manila on January 24, 2024. The rights group reiterated the call for the release of Cumpio, Abinguna and Domequil. "But, as with the Marcos Jr. administration, they have exposed themselves as responsible for the sorry state of human rights in the country." Marielle's mother also penned a separate letter, saying that her daughter is a staunch human rights defender of human rights. Our demand is clear: free Tacloban 5, free all political prisoners."
