De Lima has been denied not only her right to bail but all the rights of the free citizen that she deserves to be,” MAT said. “Indeed, she is a victim of the most egregious case of vengeance and abuse of state power by the draconian regime of Rodrigo Duterte,” it added. De Lima has been in police detention since Feb. 24, 2017 A Muntinlupa trial court on February 17 acquitted De Lima in one of the three drug cases.
