Student leaders from four universities in Cebu City filed with the Supreme Court (SC) on Tuesday, July 28, the 20th petition on the alleged unconstitutionality of the Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA) which the government started implementing last July 18.

They asked the SC to issue a temporary restraining order that would stop the implementation of the law that was signed by President Duterte last July 3.

They pointed out that Sections 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 18, 25, 29, and 46 violate, among other constitutional guarantees, the citizens’ rights to due process, equal protection, presumption of innocence, privacy, and freedom of expression, and transgress legislative authority, separation of powers, and judicial prerogative.
