MANILA – Progressive groups denounced the arrest of activist and ex-vice presidential candidate Walden Bello, noting that it is an attack against free speech.
Bello, a staunch Marcos-Duterte critic, was arrested Monday night by the Quezon City police due to a cyber libel case filed by Jefry Tupas, former Davao City Information Officer and aide of Vice President Sara Duterte.
Laban ng Masa said that its chairperson, Bello, was victimized by Duterte through a proxy.
