MANILA – Journalists and progressive lawmakers have reiterated their demand for the dropping of charges against community journalist Frenchie Mae Cumpio and four other human rights defenders based in Tacloban City.
“Three years of incarceration and the slow pace of the criminal proceedings undoubtedly caused several other dire ramifications to Cumpio and the rest of the Tacloban 5,” a resolution filed by progressive lawmakers under the Makabayan Coalition read.
