On June 28, 2019, the 14th
Division of the Court of Appeals dismissed the petitions for the writ of amparo
and habeas data filed by Karapatan, Rural Missionaries of the Philippines
(RMP), and Gabriela. Karapatan assailed the decision and referred to it as “a
gross disservice to the human rights defenders who continue to experience
perilous conditions in the conduct of their human rights work.”
