Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte's spokesman on Sunday criticized a U.S. lawmaker for making a "baseless" accusation of abuse in the case of a detained critic of the Filipino leader. Presidential Spokesman Salvador Panelo was reacting to a statement by U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy, who said the detention of Philippine Senator Leila De Lima was a "wrongful imprisonment". Leahy made the remarks in a statement he sent to local network ABS-CBN News on Friday, in which he criticized Panelo for saying Washington was interfering in Philippine affairs over a proposed travel ban against officials behind De Lima's imprisonment.
