Responding to the news that police have resumed their role in implementing the so-called "war on drugs" declared by President Rodrigo Duterte's administration, Amnesty International's Director of Southeast Asia and the Pacific, James Gomez said:
"Since President Duterte came to power, police have unlawfully killed thousands of people, the vast majority of them from poor and marginalised communities, in attacks so extensive and brutal they may well amount to crimes against humanity. Now that police are once more returning to the forefront of anti-drug operations, the government must make sure that there is no repeat of the bloodshed seen during the past 18 months.
