Senate President Vicente Sotto III on Saturday defended Senator Ronald
“Bato” dela Rosa amid reports that the latter’s United States visa was cancelled over the alleged extrajudicial killings during the Duterte administration’s war against illegal drugs.A report by news blogsite Politiko on Friday said Dela Rosa’s US visa was cancelled as part of the country’s crackdown on alleged human rights violators on the basis of a law promoting human rights and rule of law.
But if the report was true, Sotto said the revocation of the former police chief’s visa was unfair since US officials supposedly failed to verify the accuracy of number of deaths attributed to the drug war. “Iyong nga drug lords, drug pushers, sila sila nagpapatayan, lalo na ‘yong mga street pushers, tinitira nila dahil patay siguro sila habang nagsusurender sila. ,” he said, referring to the PNP’s Oplan Tokhang initiated by Dela Rosa.
