Press Release Pangilinan, other personalities renew call for De Lima's freedom Senator Francis "Kiko" Pangilinan has renewed his call for the immediate release of Opposition Senator Leila M. de Lima from continued unjust detention which he said has compromised her health. Pangilinan demanded for De Lima's freedom after the lady Senator requested for an emergency medical furlough due to bouts of headaches and persistent generalized weakness. "Nag-aalala kami sa kalagayan ni Sen. Leila. Over 1,500 days of unjust detention will take its toll on anyone - and now it's affected Sen. Leila's health. This is a severe injustice and a violation of basic human rights," his Twitter post read.
