Negros

The National Union of People's Lawyers has petitioned the Supreme Court to issue protective writs for human rights lawyers in Negros and development workers, citing alleged red-tagging, surveillance, and threats from state agents. The petitions include lawyer Rey Gorgonio, chair of NUPL-Negros, and members of the Paghida-et sa Kauswagan Development Group. The group also raised concerns about the ongoing security threats faced by a lawyer in Isabela.
