Who put De Lima in detention?

Who are the persons responsible for Sen. Leila de Lima’s incarceration of almost a year? As I mentioned in last week’s column, her reputation was most enviable in her law practice and public service. Somehow, it started deteriorating in mid-July 2016, when she introduced a resolution in the Senate calling for an investigation of the extrajudicial killings (EJKs), followed by a speech on the Senate floor three weeks later calling for an end to them, and then followed, on Aug. 12, by an announcement that the Senate committee on justice and human rights, which she then chaired, would conduct an inquiry, in aid of legislation, on EJKs.
