Former Philippine senator released: Leila de Lima free after nearly seven years in detention
A former Philippine senator is home after nearly seven years in detention. Leila de Lima was granted bail, after a court found evidence used to charge her with drug trafficking was weak.
Rights groups say the charges are politically motivated – following her criticism of former president Rodrigo Duterte's war on drugs. Al Jazeera’s Barnaby Lo reports from the Bicol region in the Philippines. Subscribe to our channel http://bit.ly/AJSubscribe
