Live updates: Maguindanao massacre judgment day

This file photo taken on Jan. 13, 2009 shows human rights advocates holding a protest in front of the Philippine National Police (PNP) headquarters in Camp Crame, Quezon City, where the second hearing of Andal Ampatuan Jr., the principal accussed in the Ampatuan Massacre in Mindanao, is taking place. The alleged masterminds of the Philippines' worst political massacre are to learn their fate on December 19, 2019 when a Manila court issues its verdict, in a test of the nation's justice system. A decade ago, 58 people, including 32 media workers, were slaughtered and dumped into roadside pits during an attack that was also one of the world's worst mass killings of journalists.
