Human rights group Karapatan raised alarm over the new surge in extrajudicial killings.
Marie Hilao-Enriquez, Karapatan secretary general, noted, “The killings are picking up again at an alarming rate of one victim per week. This is almost the same scenario in 2006, if not worse."
Extrajudicial killings are on the rise again. A leader of an urban poor organization was shot at by a lone gunman, at around 8:25 a.m., Monday March 23 at Bgy. Pook, Sta. Rosa, Laguna. She died while undergoing treatment.
