The Commission on Human Rights (CHR) on Wednesday decried a tarpaulin linking Mandaluyong Regional Trial Court Branch 209 Judge Monique Quisumbing-Ignacio to communists over her order to release a detained journalist and trade unionist.
The CHR also pointed out that Article 18 of the United Nation Basic Principles on the Role of Lawyers states that members of the legal profession “shall not be identified with their clients or their client’s causes as a result of discharging their functions.”
