Clooney Condemns Philippine Court Over Nobel Laureate's Case
The Guardian|July 13, 2022
The human rights lawyer Amal Clooney has condemned a decision by a court in the Philippines to uphold the conviction of the Nobel prizewinner Maria Ressa in a cyber libel case and her legal team has said the world is watching to see if the newly elected president, Ferdinand Marcos Jr, will "stop the rot" or continue attacks on journalists.

Clooney Condemns Philippine Court Over Nobel Laureate's Case

Ressa, a co-founder of the news website Rappler, lost her appeal last week against a conviction for cyber libel - just one of an onslaught of legal cases and investigations the journalist is battling.

Ressa and her former colleague Reynaldo Santos Jr, who face jail over the conviction, plan to appeal again, including to the supreme court.

Clooney, who jointly leads the international legal team acting for Ressa, said the journalist "should be celebrated - not thrown in jail" for her work. Ressa had been "considered guilty until proven innocent- and then prevented from proving her innocence", she said.

Clooney added that she hoped the Marcos Jr administration would "show the world that it is strong enough to withstand scrutiny and allow a free press".
