HONOLULU (AP) — Filipino journalist and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Maria Ressa announced Tuesday in a speech in Hawaii that the Philippine government is confirming an earlier order to shut down Rappler, the outlet she co-founded, which gained notoriety for its reporting on the president’s bloody crackdown on illegal drugs.
The Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission confirmed its earlier resolution to revoke Rappler’s certificate of incorporation, Ressa, in a speech at the East-West Center in Honolulu.
“Part of the explanation for why I didn’t sleep much last night is that we got a prevention order,” Ressa told the hearing.
Last year, Ressa was the first Filipino and she and Russian Dmitry Muratov the first news hunters in more than 80 years to win the Nobel Peace Prize.
