Practice question: Amparo (AM 07-9-12-SC)

Multiple Choice Hard

Practice question

An activist supplies detailed evidence of public insurgent-labeling, repeated following, and killings of associates named on the same posters. A judge rejects the petition solely because the activist is alive and has not disappeared. Assess that reason.
  1. Correct, threats are never covered.
  2. The court must instead convict the officials immediately.
  3. Only damages can ever address these allegations.
  4. Mistaken: covered threats may warrant issuance and examination, without automatically establishing final entitlement.
  5. The court must ignore surrounding circumstances.
