Bayan Muna files new motion vs anti-terror law

EXPRESSING fear for their lives, the Makabayan bloc at the House of Representatives has again asked the Supreme Court to stop the implementation of Republic Act (RA) 11479 or the “Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA) of 2020.”

In a 12-page motion, Bayan Muna party-list Rep. Carlos Isagani Zarate and other petitioners, said RA 11479 is being used by the government to intensify “red tagging” on members of the progressive bloc to stifle dissent.
