The government of President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. should do more to protect the families of victims of extralegal killings and prosecute officials for the wrongful deaths, according to a human rights group. READ:
In a statement sent on Monday evening, the Initiatives for Dialogue and Empowerment through Alternative Legal Services said the government should also look into alleged falsified death certificates of drug war victims and suspected pushers.
The nine-year-old victim was initially declared dead due to pneumonia. “It would indeed be fair and equitable that the genuine cause of his death be reflected in his death certificate,” the appellate court said in a 12-page ruling. She told a news briefing on April 12 that at least 32 bodies of drug war victims she examined had gunshot wounds as the cause of death.
More than 30 member-states of the UN Human Rights Council have urged the Philippines to do something about extralegal killings and human rights abuses in connection with the government’s drug war.
