Philippinen. Philippines: Drop Political Charges against Duterte Critic Senator Leila de Lima Outspoken on Abusive ‘War on Drugs’
(New York) – Philippine authorities should immediately drop politically motivated charges against one of the few lawmakers openly critical of President Rodrigo Duterte’s “war on drugs,” which has left more than 7,000 people dead, Human Rights Watch said today. Senator Leila de Lima, a former secretary of justice, is expected to be arrested and taken into custody within days. (HRW – Human Rights Watch, 18.02.2017)
