De Lima free but still fighting

After languishing behind bars for nearly seven years, Philippine drug war critic Leila de Lima says she 'never lost faith' that she would be freed. De Lima -- a former senator, justice minister and human rights commissioner -- was one of the most vocal and powerful local critics of ex-president Rodrigo Duterte and his deadly drug war. On Monday, de Lima, 64, was released from detention on bail, tearfully rejoicing in the freedom she had prayed for since her jailing in February 2017.
