Over a month since her arrest, martial law survivor Adora Faye de Vera remains detained on charges of murder, frustrated murder and rebellion. Her family has denied these charges, saying she is being targeted for her activism, including her work to seek justice for victims of martial law abuses. A former political prisoner subjected to torture and other ill-treatment in 1976, Adora Faye was in Quezon City to seek medical treatment when she was arrested on 24 August. We call on the Philippine government to drop the charges against Adora Faye and immediately release her.
