HUMAN RIGHTS. Senator Patrick Leahy urges the Philippines to uphold human rights instead of threatening to deny Americans visas to the country. File photo by Chip Soodevilla/Getty Images/AFPfrom the Philippine government to bar him from entering the country, as he vowed to remain firm in standing up for the human rights of detained Senator Leila de Lima and Rappler CEO Maria Ressa.
Leahy was responding to President Rodrigo Duterte's decision to get back at him and US Senator Richard Durbin after they pushed for a US entry ban on Philippine officials involved in the detention of Senator Leila de Lima. In addition to the ban targeting the senators, Philippine officials threatened to enforce visa restrictions on"Americans" if the US government enforces the ban.
"Rather than responding by irrationally threatening to deny visas to American citizens, the Duterte government should either release Senator De Lima immediately or provide her the fair, public trial she is entitled to," Leahy said in statement on Sunday, December 29.
