Former Philippine Senator Leila de Lima has been acquitted of her last remaining drug charge by the Muntinlupa City Regional Trial Court Branch 206 on June 24. This decision concludes a seven-year legal battle during which De Lima, a prominent human rights campaigner and critic of former President Rodrigo Duterte's war on drugs, faced multiple charges. Earlier in the day, a minor disobedience case against her was also dismissed. With this acquittal, De Lima is now free from all charges. She expressed feeling 'vindicated' following the court's decision.
