Philippine
police are falsifying evidence to justify unlawful killings in a “war
on drugs” that has caused more than 7,000 deaths. President Rodrigo
Duterte’s role in these killings makes him ultimately responsible for
the deaths of thousands.
New Human Rights Watch research finds that the killing campaign
against suspected drug users and dealers, openly encouraged and
applauded by President Duterte, is effectively a war on the urban poor
that could amount to crimes against humanity.
Human Rights Watch’s Emergencies Director Peter Bouckaert has
documented this unprecedented wave of killing in the capital, Manila. We
asked him how he was able to track the police killing squads.
