Amal Clooney decries legal charade after journalist Maria Ressa charged again with libel

In November, she was charged with cyber libel again in relation to a previous tweet that she had sent. The tweet referred to a published news story that described alleged ties between the judge and a businessman. Clooney, the Lebanese-British barrister who is leading a team of international lawyers representing Ressa, said she hoped that Philippine judges would put an end to the “legal charade”, adding: “Here we go again: this is now the 10th arrest warrant issued against Ms Ressa and the third libel prosecution for a public interest story,” she said. “It is the latest step in the Philippine government’s increasingly transparent campaign to silence her and shut down her news site, just as they shut down the leading broadcaster in the country.”

Philippines: Duterte critic and journalist Maria Ressa charged again with cyber libel

MANILA, Jan 16 (AFP): Embattled Philippine journalist Maria Ressa ( pic) faces a third cyber libel charge, her lawyer has announced, this time for a story over students allegedly paying a professor for passing grades. Ressa and her news site Rappler face at least a dozen criminal charges and investigations after publishing stories critical of President Rodrigo Duterte s policies, including his bloody drug war. It s my 10th arrest warrant in less than two years. That s definitely a pattern of harassment, Ressa, who Time magazine named Person of the Year in 2018, told AFP. In June, the former CNN correspondent was convicted on another charge of cyber libel; she is on bail pending an appeal against that verdict, which could see her spend up to six years in prison.
