Supporters of former senator Leila de Lima’s freedom are hoping to see her out of detention soon after two more witnesses recanted Oct 16 saying they are “bothered by their conscience.”
Dismissed police Insp. Rodolfo Magleo and former Police Sergeant Nonio Arile have recanted their testimonies against De Lima, who has been in jail for six years for what are seen by her allies as trumped up drug charges by former president Rodrigo Duterte when she was justice secretary during the administration of Benigno Aquino III.
