DOJ order renews hope in system

/ 10:09 PM February 18, 2013

We hail the Department of Justice resolution granting poet-activist Ericson Acosta’s petition for review, reversing probable cause and dismissing trumped-up charges of illegal possession of explosives (Inquirer, 1/12/13) as it finally officially exposed the trumped-up charge of illegal possession of explosives against our client who has suffered gross injustice. Somehow, it renews our hope that the dogged pursuit of justice and persistent efforts to right a wrong will ultimately be rewarded.

We hope that the many who are politically persecuted, thrown in jail on false or fabricated charges through legal shortcuts and hocus-pocus, and made to indefinitely wait in anguish, will get their own well-deserved freedom.
