A RANKING official of the National Security Council (NSC) on Wednesday refuted Amnesty International's (AI) recent report claiming that the Philippine government under the administration of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. is stifling dissent and freedom of expression in the country.

NSC Assistant Director General Jonathan Malaya, in a statement, slammed the group for making 'rash judgments' and called its report 'one-sided, misleading, and baseless.'
