QUEZON City, Philippines (Eagle News) – The Commission on Human Rights (CHR) admitted that it has no evidence to prove that the killings due to the anti-illegal drug campaign are state-sponsored.
“We never said that it was state-sponsored at all,” an official of the CHR on Monday, March 27 said in a CHR-sponsored forum on campaign against narcotics.
“There is no such finding that we can conclude that way. But what we can say is that the killings are still continuing and in an apparent vigilante manner [by] unknown assailants, so this is a police matter and they should be attending to this right away,” CHR Commissioner Gwen Pimentel-Gana said in a forum on women and children victims of the campaign against narcotics.
