we are men. a cautionary tale we are meant to make you afraid. right so i appeal again. don't be afraid because if you don't use your rights you will lose them if we don't tolerate a brazen move to try to roll back the rights guaranteed in the constitution we will lose them. as more from outside the court. this is not the 1st time though and not the only case that journalists are facing as you know just over a month ago the biggest media network was shut down a b a c.b.s. also was shut down because of its failure to renew its license there was also another broad sheet that was also threatened to be closed so no the united nations

all of the rights organizations have called this of course a dark day in journalism but this is not new this is been going on for the last 4 years although there is no official reaction again from the philippine government that the support from the office of the president you know many many actually believe that this has been the case simply because there has basically which the war against journalists by calling them feet fuse for the previous statement he made a few years ago that some journalists do this serve to be killed so right now at this point maria ressa still at her press conference she's sharing her sentiments with other journalists a lot of people say they continue to support maria they think that this is the 1st time that basically cyber libel was weaponized it was something that was passed during the previous administration but a lot of rights groups over the past few years have actually been calling on the government to decriminalize libel they worry though that the case of maria despite being prominent actually has a greater impact to lesser known community journalists who may not have the same
