Philippine president threatens to quit UN over ‘stupid’ criticism of drug war
The Philippine president has threatened to quit the United Nations after it urged him to stop killing suspected criminals.
There have been about 900 executions since May during Rodrigo Duterte’s war on illegal drugs targeting dealers and users.
Local media and other groups have higher tallies, some nearly 1,000, and say they include apparent victims of summary killings.
Vigilantes gangs are also taking things into their own hands on the streets; images show bodies bound with tape – their alleged crimes written on cardboard signs hung around their necks.
