Pinabubulaanan ang ulat ng komite ng United Nations (UN) tungkol sa pagpapatuloy ng extrajudicial killings sa Pilipinas, sinabi ni Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri na wala siyang narinig o nakikitang anumang pagpatay, partikular sa mga hinihinalang pusher ng droga, sa ilalim ng bagong administrasyon.
Contrary to Zubiri’s claim, the Philippine National Police reported on Nov. 14 that 46 deaths occurred in 18,505 anti-drug operations since the Marcos administration assumed power on June 30. The police claimed the 46 individuals killed were suspects who resisted arrest.
“EJK” is the more popular term, but “ELK” is more commonly used in legal documents as it is broader, and “embraces any situation where somebody was killed without due process,” said lawyer Romel Bagares.
(UPDATED) Recently appointed foreign affairs chief Alan Peter Cayetano slammed the double standard used by critics of the Duterte administration to define extrajudicial killings (EJKs).
