The Manila regional trial court (RTC) has denied the plea to nullify the search warrant it issued against one of the seven activists who were arrested during the celebration of the International Human Rights Day last Dec. 10.
Denied was the motion filed by Joel Demate whose request to suppress the evidence presented against him was also rejected by the trial court.
In a statement, the National Union of People’s Lawyers (NUPL), which is Demate’s counsel, said it will appeal the RTC’s ruling.
“The NUPL will move for the reconsideration of the court order and pursue available legal remedies to vindicate Demate and secure his liberty,” NUPL said.
