Maria #Ressa, de journalist die de Nobelprijs voor de Vrede ontving voor haar pogingen de vrijheid van meningsuiting in de Filipijnen te redden, zegt dat de ondergang van een democratie langzaam plaatsvindt. ‘The death of democracy happens by a thousand cuts.

Icymi: Philippine court acquits Nobel laureate Maria #Ressa of final charges https://wapo.st/48dwCgS #JournalismIsNotACrime #GiftArticle #NoPaywall
The Hold the Line Coalition (HTL) welcomes Tuesday’s Regional Trial Court verdict acquitting #Nobel laureate #Maria #Ressa and her news outlet #Rappler on the final criminal tax charge leveled against them by the regime of former President Rodrigo Duterte.
The judgment comes after a legal battle lasting nearly five years. If they had lost the case, Ressa could have been jailed for up to 10 years, while Rappler would have faced a fine.
“This verdict underlines that it is possible for #Phillipine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to chart a different course to his predecessor Rodrigo Duterte, who waged a relentless campaign of media repression,”
A #Philippines court has acquitted Nobel Peace Prize winner Maria #Ressa in a final tax fraud case filed against her and the news site she founded, #Rappler. Ressa was cleared on similiar charges nine months ago.
She has long maintained that she and Rappler were targeted for their critical reporting on former President Rodrigo Duterte.
