MANILA, Philippines — Human rights groups gathered at the Department of Justice (DoJ) main office in Manila to mark the 4th anniversary of the signing of the Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA) on Wednesday.
Led by Bagong Alyansang Makabayan, Migrante and Kilusang Mayo Uno, the groups called for the repeal of the law, saying it is being used by the government to go after activists.
