This just came in from the Public Attorney's Office which is headed by Chief Persida Rueda-Acosta (no relation to political prisoner Ericson "Eric" Acosta who is recovering from a kidney operation at the National Kidney Institute in Quezon City).
~~~~~~~~~~~
"Kinatigan
ng Department of Justice (DoJ) ang dalawang taon nang petition for review ng cultural worker at makatang si Ericson Acosta.
"Si Acosta ay naaresto sa San Jorge , Samar, noong 2011,
habang nagsasagawa ito ng human rights research. Siya ay pinaghinalang miyiembro ng
communist movement.
"Si Acosta ay
nahaharap sa kasong illegal possession of explosives sa Samar Regional Trial Court.
"Kasalukuyang naka-confine ngayon si Acosta sa National Kidney and Transplant Institute sa Quezon City.
"Sa tulong ng Public
Attorney's Office, kinatigan ng Samar Regional Trial Court ang hiling ni Acosta na makapagpagamot dahil sa nararanasan nitong sakit sa kidney."#
