U.S. Government expressed “Concern” about Maria Ressa’s Conviction

The United States (US) Government has officially expressed its “concern” about the conviction of the Maria Ressa by a statement thru their State Department.

As far as I know, the US is the first and only Foreign Government that has officially done so as of now. In their statement, the US implied that Ressa’s conviction interfered with the Freedom of Expression in the Philippines.

Ressa, who is also an American Citizen, was convicted recently based on a Case filed by a Philippine Citizen.
