SC allows Nobel Winner Maria Ressa to travel abroad
The Supreme Court has allowed Nobel Prize winner Maria Ressa to travel abroad from March 13 to April 1, 2023 for several speaking engagements, it said Wednesday.
In a resolution dated March 6, the Court’s First Division resolved to grant the fourth motion for permission to travel abroad of Ressa subject to certain conditions.
Ressa was, among others, ordered to observe the sub judice rule and to refrain from making any comment on or discussing in public her case and other related matters, and to travel on the cash bond of P100,000 she previously posted pursuant to an earlier resolution of the Supreme Court.
Ressa was required to transmit to the Supreme Court an advice in writing of her return to the country within five days from her arrival.
Ressa will travel to Canada, France, South Korea, and the United States of America. Supreme Court Public Information Office
