Maria Ressa charged again with cyber libel

Embattled Philippine journalist Maria Ressa faces a third cyber libel charge, her lawyer said yesterday, this time for a story over students allegedly paying a professor for passing grades.  Ressa and her news site Rappler face at least a dozen criminal charges and investigations after publishing stories critical of President Rodrigo Duterte's policies, including his bloody drug war. "It's my 10th arrest warrant in less than two years. That's definitely a pattern of harassment," Ressa, who Time magazine named Person of the Year in 2018, told AFP Thursday.
