菲律宾上诉法院恢复了独立新闻网站Rappler的营业执照, 推翻了2018年针对新闻站的裁决, The Philippine Court of Appeals has restored the business license of independent news website Rappler, overturning a 2018 ruling against the news outlet and granting a rare victory for free press in Southeast Asia. 这项裁决推翻了对Rappler的裁决,Rappler是前总统罗德里戈·杜特政府提出的十多项刑事和民事申诉之一。 The decision reverses a ruling against Rappler, which was one of a dozen criminal and civil complaints filed by the government of former President Rodrigo Duterte. Rappler的执照于2018年被美国证券交易委员会吊销，理由是Omidyar Network的投资违反了菲律宾的外国所有权规则。 Rappler's license was revoked in 2018 by the Securities and Exchange Commission, citing an investment by Omidyar Network as a violation of foreign ownership rules in the Philippines. Rappler调查了杜特残酷的毒品战争,被控逃税、违反外国所有权规则和网络诽谤。 Rappler, which had investigated Duterte's brutal drug war, had been accused of tax evasion, violation of foreign ownership rules, and cyber libel. 诺贝尔和平奖得主玛丽亚·雷萨(Maria Ressa)共同创始人将针对她和Rappler的案件描述为“骚扰和恐吓”。 Co-founder Maria Ressa, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, has described the cases against her and Rappler as "harassment and intimidation."
