, was Friday denied a bid to win a new franchise. The company had been forced off air in May in what many critics saw as a move to silence critics of the country’s President Rodrigo Duterte.

Duterte is understood to have sought revenge against the broadcaster, which has been consistently critical of his shoot to kill policy in a war on drugs. He also accused the station of refusing his election advertisements. “@HRW denounces Philippine Congress’ denial of franchise to ABSCBN, calls it a grievous assault on press freedom, and a black day for democracy,” said Human Rights Watch.
