Philippinen. Philippines Tars Rights Groups with ‘Drug Lords’ Smear - Duterte’s Subordinates Issue Veiled Threat Against Activists
Philippine presidential spokesman Harry Roque alleged on Monday that “some human rights groups have become unwitting tools of drug lords to hinder the strides made by the administration.” That echoed recent comments by Foreign Secretary Alan Cayetano equating efforts of some unnamed human rights organizations to stop President Rodrigo Duterte’s murderous “war on drugs” with “being used by drug lords.” (HRW – Human Rights Watch, 26.03.2018)
