Description
Philippine Nobel Prize winner Maria Ressa speaks to media after a court aquits her of tax evasion, calling the verdict a victory for "truth".
Ressa, who shared the Nobel with Russian journalist Dmitry Muratov in 2021, still faces three other cases, including a cyber libel conviction now under appeal that could mean nearly seven years in prison.
"Today, facts win. Truth wins," a teary-eyed and defiant Ressa tells reporters outside the Manila courtroom after the court ruled on four government charges that she and her online media company Rappler had dodged taxes in a 2015 bond sale to foreign investors. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
