Several media groups and human rights defenders on Sunday, February 7, continued to call for the release of journalists belonging to publications earlier red-tagged by the Duterte government’s task force against communists. 
The National Union of Journalists in the Philippines, along with AlterMidya Network, and journalists from mainstream and alternative media issued their call through a cycling event that crossed landmarks in the government’s crackdown on press freedom and dissent. 
The bike ride on Sunday was done a year since Frenchie Mae Cumpio, editor of Tacloban-based Eastern Vista, was arrested in a string of operations that led to the arrest of other human rights defenders on February 7, 2020. Cumpio had been arrested over illegal possession of firearms and explosives – the usual charges against activists – and remains detained until today.
