Philippine online news site critical of President Rodrigo Duterte says its CEO has been arrested again, this time over an alleged investment violation.
Rappler CEO and Executive Editor Maria Ressa, center, gestures as she talks to reporters after posting bail at the Pasig Regional Trial Court, metropolitan Manila, Philippines on Friday March 29, 2019. The head of a Philippine online news site, among media agencies deemed critical of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte, was arrested again Friday, this time over an alleged investment violation.
Ressa’s co-defendants posted bail for the new charge earlier in the week. Ressa was returning from a trip to the U.S. after securing a travel bond allowing her to leave the country while other criminal cases against her are pending. The Duterte administration has denied her cases were a press freedom issue, saying she and Rappler have breached Philippine laws and have been charged by authorities and should answer before the judicial system like other violators.
