The passage of the Anti-Terror bills needs to be stopped as it could result in human rights violations, misconduct and abuse of law enforcers’ authority, the NUPL said. | DYGalvezINQ
“One cannot deny that this bill diminishes the role of the judiciary into a mere stamp pad of legality and an instrument to the institutionalization of shortcuts, circumventions and even validation of outright violations and abuses,” it added.
It can be expected that the bill will try to expedite the passage of the bill on second and third reading with minimal debates, the NUPL said. “The bill, should it become law, will only serve to worsen the climate of impunity that has made the Philippines fertile ground for extra-judicial killings, illegal arrests, and crackdowns against activists and progressive organizations and even ordinary citizens,” the group said.
