More than 7,000 people have been killed in the Philippine’ government’s “war on drugs” since President Rodrigo Duterte came to power in a campaign of murder that could amount to crimes against humanity, according to a new report from Amnesty International.

The advocacy group said it equated to at least 1,000 deaths per month, including at least 2,500 in total where the country’s police were allegedly directly involved in the murders.

It's a dirty war and the tyrant there is quite open about it, many civilians are being murdered by the police.

Things are starting to not go so good for Duterte since that S. Korean businessman got killed there and it's blamed on the police.

I thought I read he was saying he would welcome refugees. Is he running low on citizens?

I posted the story where Duterte told the US not to store arms in the Philippines yesterday but the Philippine Military told Duterte that the US is not doing that.
