MANILA–Detained Sen. Leila de Lima, in one of her handwritten letters from Camp Crame on Saturday, expressed gratitude to the European Union (EU) Parliament for its report that called for her immediate release.

“Going over the transcripts of statements during the European Parliament Plenary Session relative to my case has tremendously lifted my spirits,” De Lima said in her letter.

“Thank you Europe! Thank you World!” she added.

De Lima, former Justice Secretary and Human Rights Chair, said that she was elated particularly because there were men and women from various parts of the continent that believe in her innocence.

Senate Pres. Aquilino Pimentel III, however, denounced the report noting that the parliament should “mind their own business”.
