MANILA — The Supreme Court (SC) has ordered petitioners seeking to halt the government’s anti-illegal drug operations to comment on the motion for reconsideration filed by the Office of the Solicitor General (OSG). The petition is asking the high court to recall its Dec. 5 order that requires them to submit documents in relation to the Duterte administration’s campaign against illegal drugs.
SC spokesman Theodore Te, in a briefing, announced that the directive was issued following Tuesday’s regular en banc session of the magistrates.
Those ordered to comment on the petition filed by the OSG within 10 days include the Center for International Law (CenterLaw), through lawyer Joel Butuyan, on behalf of the residents of 26 barangays in San Andres Bukid, Manila City, and the Free Legal Assistance Group (FLAG), led by lawyer Jose Manuel Diokno.
