The Department of Justice’s (DOJ) initial report on the 52 cases of deaths in the government’s anti-drug campaign showed “many lapses” in the operations, Vice President Leni Robredo said on Sunday, Oct. 24.
The Department of Justice’s initial report on the 52 cases of deaths in the government’s anti-drug campaign showed “many lapses” in the operations, Vice President Leni Robredo said on Sunday, Oct. 24.
“So, mabuti na ginagawa ito ng DOJ pero alam natin na libo-libo ‘yung naging biktima. Sana man lang mabigyan ng katarungan iyong mga namatay ,” Robredo, who is running for president in 2022, said. Robredo said one of the spouses of the victims during the turnover told her that the police asked them to sign a report saying that the victim died of pneumonia.
The panel found that many of the victims tested negative for gunpowder nitrates and latent print, which indicates that they didn’t hold or use a firearm against the law enforcers. This is contrary to claims by the police that they acted in self-defense after the alleged suspects fired at them.
