MANILA - At least 45 representatives of the US Congress have called on the Philippine government to immediately repeal the controversial Anti-Terror Law of 2020.

The representatives, including Jan Schakowsky of Illinois and Judy Chu of California, wrote a letter to the Philippine ambassador to the US to call for the repealing of the measure.

"This law is overbroad and we believe it's being used to stifle dissent and target civil society including human rights and groups in the Philippines," Schakowsky said. Rep. Jan Schakowsky: We stand to gather to ask the government to repeal the Anti Terrorism Act of 2020 that risks undermining human rights in the Philippines.

"We stand with Filipinos, Filipino-Americans, and grassroots organizations in the Philippines in demanding a genuine democracy where dissent is accepted and encouraged, instead of criminalized." the Illinois representative said.
