NOW: KAPATID holds press conference.

Fides Lim, KAPATID spokesperson, criticizes the Supreme Court for long wait on petition for release of prisoners, only to refer it to lower courts: Pinaghintay niyo kami at binigo.
Lim to SC: We continue to appeal -- do not stand in your own way. Chief Justice Peralta, you have 2 more years to be true to your own words about our petition.

Lim was referring to Peralta's previous statement in a press release that detainees are presumed innocent.
Lim says they will pursue writ of kalayaan as suggested by SC Associate Justice Marvic Leonen in his separate opinion.

Lim: The Peralta court is provided with remedy with writ of kalayaan. Prove it, don’t be a passive court. Be a humane court.
