NUPL seeks Supreme Court help on red-tagging of lawyers, civil society
The National Union of Peoples' Lawyers (NUPL) has urged the Supreme Court (SC) to establish protection mechanisms for human rights lawyers following an alleged red-tagging incident involving the anti-insurgency task force.
NUPL representative Atty. Josalee Deinla stated that an official document from the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-ELCAC) identified NUPL as a front organization.
Deinla condemned the practice of red-tagging occurring within legal proceedings, not just on social media or broadcasts.
The NUPL has formally written to Chief Justice Alexander Gesmundo, highlighting the red-tagging incident within the context of a pending civil case.
The organization is requesting the SC to consider implementing a robust protection mechanism for lawyers facing threats, drawing inspiration from international standards.
