“TFDP regrets that the Supreme Court denied with finality the motions for reconsideration regarding the Anti-Terror Law. The death-dealers will have a heyday weaponizing this law to red tag, harass and even imprison and kill human rights defenders, environmental activists, climate justice rights defenders and all who raise their voices in dissent. We pray that the Anti-Terror Law will not be used to silence dissent. A democracy thrives on dissent and a free flow of ideas.”- Fr. Christian Buenafe, O.Carm, TFDP Chairperson
