MANILA – Political prisoner Maoj Maga welcomed the recent decision of the Court of Appeals, reversing his conviction for charges of illegal possession of firearms and ammunition.
The CA said that the prosecution failed to prove Maga’s guilt beyond reasonable doubt.
In its decision made public on Sept. 18, the appellate court said the search of Maga’s backpack inside the vehicle during his arrest on February 22, 2018 was unlawful and unreasonable.
