CHRの広報担当者、ジャクリーン・アン・デ・ギア弁護士による、人身保護令状の停止と革命政府宣言の脅迫に関する声明
Open and free discourse is a crucial facet of a democracy. It is a right guaranteed by the Constitution and guided by different laws. In this case, criticisms, especially if warranted and is viewed for public interest, should not be used as a justification to curtail other rights, lest we spiral into a dictatorship. The task before all freedom-loving Filipinos is vigilance against possible oppressions and abuse of power. Just as the same, we remind the government to use the authority the people granted to them and use it to protect rights and liberties rather than curtail them.
