MANILA – Reconsider the denial of the motion to quash the search warrant against trade unionist Joel Demate.
This is the demand of human rights group Karapatan after a local court denied the appeal filed by Demate on February 22.
In a statement, Karapatan said that a thorough review of the application of search warrants used by the police to conduct simultaneous raids on December 10 last year “is a matter of justice.”
They believe that this was not done in the case of Demate.
