On Monday June 15, a Philippine court convicted Maria Ressa, CEO of Rappler, a leading news website, and Reynaldo Santos, a former Rappler reporter, of cyberlibel for an article that was published in 2012 -- months before the cybercrime law was even enacted. They were sentenced to jail for six months up to six years.
