MANILA – Human rights groups and advocates are urging the United Nations (UN) to proactively investigate the ongoing “war on drugs campaign” of the Philippine government.
During the 54th session of the Human Rights Council, Amy Jane Lee, a member of Rise Up for Life and for Rights (Rise Up), emphasized the urgent need for international intervention to address the issue. Her husband was killed by men riding in tandem in 2017.
Rise Up is a group of families of victims of extrajudicial killings because of the war on drugs.
