To the new lawyers: either you take the choice off the beaten path or the path of least resistance. Be a lawyer for the people.

[Edre Olalia @EdreOlalia]

Stripped of all legalese, the ultimate question is: why don't you want to let Mary Jane Veloso speak & let her tell her story?

[Edre Olalia @EdreOlalia]

Mary Jane expects her compatriots not only to uphold fairness, reason & justice but also to demonstrate empathy and conscience at the least.

[Edre Olalia @EdreOlalia]

We shall not stop exhausting all legal means to ensure that she is allowed to speak the truth, the whole truth & nothing but the truth.

[Edre Olalia @EdreOlalia]

It is with disappointment & frustration to learn that a Ph court issued an order restraining the deposition of Mary Jane Veloso.

On prisons strip search: Barbaric and abominable. Beats Guantanamo in some sense. Naked and brute power must be held to account.

@dwiz882 Not really. There have been lesser known activists, farmers, indigenous peoples etc detained on false charges for far nobler causes
