法院驳回活动人士Cumpio和Domequil对恐怖主义定罪的上诉

塔克洛班市第45地区初审法院驳回了活动人士Frenchie Mae Cumpio和Marielle Domequil对恐怖主义融资罪名成立的上诉及保释请求。包括菲律宾全国记者联盟(NUJP)和KAPATID在内的多个团体谴责该裁决开创了危险的先例。其辩护律师团计划寻求法律救济以推翻此项裁决。

3月25日,塔克洛班市第45地区初审法院法官Georgina Uy Perez发布了一项综合命令,驳回了Frenchie Mae Cumpio和Marielle Domequil针对其1月22日被判恐怖主义融资罪(刑期12至18年)提出的复议动议。她们于1月27日提交并在2月13日被驳回的判后保释动议也再次遭到拒绝。

辩方认为,在涉嫌犯罪之时,并不存在有效的CPP-NPA(菲律宾共产党-新人民军)认定,检方未能证明被告明知提供资金的用途,且法庭对前叛乱分子的证词在缺乏佐证的情况下进行了错误评估。全国人民律师联盟的Ephraim Cortez指出,相关行为发生于外国认定之前,这违反了最高法院在Calleja诉执行秘书一案中的裁决。

Uy法官援引了2017年12月的第374号公告,该公告宣布CPP-NPA为恐怖组织。她认为前叛乱分子的证词可信且相互印证。

菲律宾全国记者联盟(NUJP)对此表示极度失望,并警告称,法官对投诚者证词的“盲目信任”开创了一个“危险的先例”。Altermidya Network批评法庭依赖“难以置信且荒谬的证词”。KAPATID声明:“她们不是恐怖分子。她们是服务社会的年轻人和记者,却被捏造的罪名惩处。”

她们的律师Julianna Agpalo表示:“我们打算利用法律规定的所有适当救济途径,寻求推翻该判决。”目前,将她们转移至曼达卢永市女子惩教所的决定依然有效。
