World in Progress: War on Drugs in the Philippines

Michael SullivanSeptember 21, 2016

In the Philippines, the official death toll in President Rodrigo Duterte’s war on drugs has topped 3,000 since Duterte took office in June. At least half those deaths were in encounters with police. A staggering 700,000 people have surrendered. Despite growing international condemnation of the extrajudicial killings, Duerte will continue the crackdown. (Report: Michael Sullivan)
