MANILA, Philippines — Rappler chief executive Maria Ressa was arrested at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Friday morning.
The arrest warrant was issued by Judge Acerey Pacheco of the Pasig Regional Trial Court Branch 265, as seen in a Facebook livestream of the news website Rappler.
Ressa and other Rappler executives were earlier charged by the Pasig City prosecutors over an alleged violation of the Anti-Dummy Law and the Securities Regulations Code (SRC).
“What can I say, I know that these two women from the police department aren’t the ones who are doing this but obviously, this is yet another abuse of my rights,” Ressa said in a clip taken by ABS-CBN News. /muf
