May 6, 2017: Cayetano presents facts on GPH's anti-drug war
https://www.senate.gov.ph/press_rele...cayetanoa1.asp
Senator Alan Peter Cayetano on Friday (May 5) cited the gains of the Duterte administration's intensified campaign against illegal drugs before state representatives to the United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland.
In a side event three days prior to the UPR review on May 8, the senator spoke in defense of the Duterte administration's campaign against crime, illegal drugs, and corruption, which he said is being portrayed wrongfully in the international community.
Cayetano then refuted critics' claims that there had been a spate of extrajudicial killings (EJKs) in the country since the war on drugs started. He said that in the previous administration, there was a "low of 11,000 and a high of 16,000" cases of EJKs.
Further, he noted that the definition of EJKs he is using is the definition provided by Administrative Order No. 35 under the Aquino administration, which defines extrajudicial killings as "killings wherein the victim was a member of, or affiliated with an organization, to include political, environmental, agrarian, labor, or similar causes; or an advocate of above-named causes; or a media practitioner or person(s) apparently mistaken or identified to be so."
"Suddenly, during the Duterte administration, all killings are extrajudicial killings," lamented Cayetano.
But that's exactly what he's doing. :shrug:
