The National Union of Peoples’ Lawyers added on Saturday that harassment of lawyers and judges in the Philippines has continued under President Ferdinand Marcos Jr, who took office in June, despite alarms raised by the country’s Supreme Court and international watchdogs.
With the advent of social media, threats have become prevalent online with member lawyers becoming frequent targets of false accusations “and wrongful branding as terrorists, communists or destabilisers,” Pinlac said.Others have been “red-tagged” - linked by authorities to communist guerrillas - and became targets of physical attacks especially during Duterte’s presidency, she said.
His group has pressed calls for judicial reforms and better treatment of poor suspects, including the imposition of affordable bail.Under Duterte, a number of lawyers who represented suspected drug dealers or were linked to the illegal drug trade were among those gunned down. The lawyers’ group sought protective writs from a Manila court in 2019, when Duterte was still in office, amid a spate of attacks against lawyers but the petition was denied.
