The State - News from Oct. 25, 1988

Imelda Marcos warned him eight years ago that the then-incoming Reagan Administration had promised to hunt down her husband’s political enemies in the United States, a Philippine senator and former anti-Ferdinand Marcos activist testified in San Francisco. Heherson (Sonny) Alvarez was part of an effort by defense attorneys in the case of another anti-Marcos figure, Greek-born U.S. citizen Steven Psinakis, 56, to show that the latter was unconstitutionally singled out for prosecution when a federal grand jury indicted him two years ago for alleged participation in the shipping of Philippines-bound explosives from Missouri to San Francisco. A defense subpoena for Mrs. Marcos, served on her in Hawaii, was quashed by U.S. District Judge Robert Schnacke. He agreed, however, to reconsider at the end of the proceedings.
