Philippine court denies bail for Duterte critic: lawyer
Philippine human rights activist Leila de Lima was denied bail on the remaining drug trafficking charge against her. She has been detained for over six years and claims the charges were fabricated to silence her.
If convicted, she could face life in prison. The decision has been criticized as politically motivated. De Lima has faced health issues during her detention, but the judge ruled they were not compelling grounds for bail. She has been a vocal critic of President Duterte and his drug war.
