Filipinos Protest Against Orders For News Site Rappler To Close

QUEZON CITY, PHILIPPINES - JANUARY 19: Maria Ressa, journalist and CEO of the online news site, Rappler, is interviewed by journalists during a protest calling for press freedom on January 19, 2018, in suburban Quezon City in Metro Manila, Philippines. Outrage among local and international journalists emerged as the Philippine government recently ordered the closing of an independent online news site, Rappler, that has been critical of President Rodrigo Duterte's administration, citing an irregularity in its incorporation papers. The order prompted protests by different groups calling it an attack on press freedom. Many have likened the move to the late Philippines dictator Ferdinand Marcos' order to close down newspapers and television networks, as well as arresting journalists critical of his administration.
