As the Supreme Court indefinitely suspends the
Anti-Cybercrime Law, the public must remain vigilant and critical about the
dangers of the law, the manner it was approved, and on the overall, the
stubborn position demonstrated by the Aquino administration in crafting it.
As human rights lawyers, members of the National Union of
People’s Lawyers (NUPL) maintain that there is a need to remain firm,
steadfast, and even-tempered in our victory today in order to guard against any
further breaches and violations of the people's right to freedom of speech and
expression.
NUPL is counsel for petitioners for certiorari and
prohibition, with application for a TRO, against the Anti-Cybercrime Law or RA
10175 in G.R. No. 203407
