MANILA – United States legislators are invoking the US Global Magnitsky Act to urge its government to impose targeted sanctions against Philippine government officials with documented records of grave human rights violations.

Pennsylvania 7th District Rep. Susan Wild along with 24 other representatives in the US Congress sent their letter addressed to Secretary of State Anthony J. Blinken and Secretary of Treasury Janet Yellen on Jan. 24.

In this letter, Wild named Secretary of Interior and Local Government Eduardo Año, Secretary of National Defense Delfin Lorenzana, former National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict spokesman Lt. Gen. Antonio Parlade Jr., National Security Adviser Hermogenes Esperon Jr., and former police chief Debold Sinas, as responsible for the alleged human rights violations under President Duterte.

“Those behind these corrosive violations should no longer operate with impunity,” the legislators said in their letter, adding, “In our stand for democracy, the United States cannot overlook the crisis in the Philippines, and we must take tangible action if we are to truly stand for human rights and the flourishing of freedom around the world.”
