ICC Warrant of Arrest in Tagalog
Ang pinal na hatol ng Kamara: Mandato ng Pag-aresto laban kay Duterte para sa crimes against humanity – murder bilang indirect co-perpetrator.
WAR ON DRUGS
Former President Rodrigo Duterte’s bloody “war on drugs” has killed more than 30,000 individuals. Many of the victims were small-time drug peddlers or drug users. Some were not using illegal drugs at all.
Duterte’s campaign failed to eliminate the proliferation of illegal drugs. Under the administration of Ferdinand Marcos Jr., drug-related killings have continued.
Here are the stories of the families who were left behind by the victims of Duterte’s campaign against illegal drugs. Bulatlat continues to follow their stories until Duterte is charged with crimes against humanity before the International Criminal Court.
