Philippine's Sison wins against Dutch deportation

Charges have been dropped against Jose Maria Sison, the onetime founding member of the Communist Party of the Philippines. He is now free from deportation from the Netherlands. The Philippine government had tried to have him deported as a terrorist suspect even though he had not been involved with the CPP in many years.

According to the BBC:

Philippines rebel charges dropped

Dutch prosecutors have dropped murder charges against Philippine Communist rebel leader Jose Maria Sison.
The national court said there was not enough evidence to implicate Mr Sison, 70, in the killings of two former associates in Manila in 2003 and 2004.
The Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) founder was arrested in 2007 in Utrecht, where he lives in exile.
The CPP military wing, the New People's Army (NPA), is waging a rebellion that has cost more than 40,000 lives.
The NPA suspended peace talks with the government in 2004 after it was included on a US list of proscribed terrorist organisations.
