war on drugs

Among those ordered arrested were Fr Flaviano Villanueva, who has been assisting families of victims of extrajudicial executions under the ‘war on drugs’.

A long-standing critic of the 'war on drugs', Vice President Robredo has been fired rom her post as co-chair of the government's anti-drugs committee after demanding an end to the government's policy of widespread killings.

Amnesty International says the Philippine government’s ‘war on drugs’ remains a murderous war on the poor, with killings of mostly poor and marginalised people continuing without credible, impartial and effective investigations into them.

The 'war on drugs' is counter-productive with potentially disastrous consequences for some of the world’s poorest and most left-behind groups, a new report has warned.
