Nbi Headquarters: Maria Ressa and Rappler Inc

nbi headquarters: The move against Ressa, who was one of Time magazine's Persons of the Year last year, was denounced by her outfit, Rappler Inc., and media watchdogs as a threat to press freedom, according to The Japan Times. Duterte's government said the arrest was a normal step in response to a criminal complaint. ; What we're seeing is death by a thousand cuts of our democracy, Ressa told reporters after posting bail in the Manila regional trial court that issued a warrant for her arrest. National Bureau of Investigation agents served the warrant against Maria Ressa late Wednesday afternoon and escorted her from the Rappler Inc. office to NBI headquarters, where she stayed overnight in an office. She accused the government of abusing its power and of using the law as a weapon to muzzle dissent. Duterte has openly lambasted journalists who write unfavorable stories about him, including about his anti-drug campaign that has left thousands of mostly poor suspects dead. I'm appealing to you not to be silent you have to express outrage. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
