Press Release

Since President Rodrigo Duterte took office two and a half years ago, Philippine National Police have acknowledged killing 5,000 people in anti-drug operations, and report another 22,000 "homicides under investigation."  Philippine and international human rights organizations believe the 5,000 are extrajudicial killings by police, and that many of the 22,000 killings were orchestrated by the government.
