CHR’s de Lima describes Arroyo human-rights record as dismal

In this webcast interview by Bulatlat.com and Kodao Productions, Leila de Lima, chairman of the Commission on Human Rights, talks about the dismal human-rights record of the Arroyo regime. She also talks about the death threats she said she received.

Although yet to be confirmed by President-elect Aquino, it is widely believed that de Lima will be appointed as his secretary of justice — a position, she said, that would fit in nicely in her campaign to protect and promote human rights.
