President Duterte…philippines’ ongoing extrajudicial killings
“My order is shoot to kill you. I don’t care about human rights, you better believe me.”
Duterte has viciously defended his “drug war” as a success, and accused the most prominent opponent of the killings ― Philippine Senator Leila de Lima ― of being involved in the drug trade herself. Duterte has also taken aim at rights groups, and vowed to continue his bloody anti-drug campaign until 2022. In less that a year, at least 7,000 people have died in Duterte’s “drug war.” Many of the killings are carried out extrajudicially by vigilantes who Duterte has encouraged to kill drug dealers and users.
