A most disturbing pre-Christmas event that occurred on International Human Rights Day last December 10,and on the second day of the 2020 World Press Freedom conference, was the arrest of Lady Ann “Icy” Salem in Mandaluyong for alleged illegal possession of firearms and explosive. Icy is a journalist for Manila Today and the international communications officer at the International Association of Women in Radio and Television (IAWRT) which has national chapters in 14 countries of the world, including the Philippines.
In a video following her inquest proceedings, she said in Filipino: “We had our backs turned for an hour while the “evidence” was being planted.” As IAWRT Philippines said, “this is an irrational accusation against a journalist who has used her platform to amplify stories of the oppressed, and expose injustices, and a communications officer of a global network of women communicators.”

Published December 17, 2020 11:22am Former Senator Antonio Trillanes IV on Thursday said he and former Magdalo congressman Gary Alejano sought the intervention of the International Criminal Court in connection with the Duterte administration s war on drugs ahead of other groups, including the Reds. In a statement, Trillanes said the communication they filed in June 2017 adopted and supplemented the one earlier filed by lawyer Jude Sabio in April of the same year. Together, these two communications formed the primary basis for the ICC’s initiation of its preliminary examination in February 2018, he said. He claimed that leftist groups and lawyer Rommel Bagares filed theirs only around mid- to late 2018.
