The opposition leader put in charge of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte'...
MANILA - The opposition leader put in charge of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte’s war on drugs said on Friday it was time to reassess a campaign that was fraught with senseless killings and had failed to curtail a staggering rise in addiction.
Speaking at her first meeting in charge of a task force on narcotics, Vice President Leni Robredo said the strategy should be as much about public health as it was crime and justice, and police operations, known as “Oplan Tokhang”, must be conducted lawfully and based on evidence. “There are many senseless killings that have accompanied Oplan Tokhang, it has reached a certain level of notoriety, that Tokhang is a war against the poor,” she said.
Activists dispute those accounts and accuse police of executing suspects based on weak intelligence. Police reject that.
