- More than 700 suspected drug users or dealers have been killed by police or vigilantes in the Philippines in less than three months, say human rights campaigners, who are calling on the UN to denounce the violence.
- A further 114,000 people who use drugs have turned themselves in to authorities – undoubtedly out of fear for their lives – and who will now face time in overcrowded prisons and likely be subjected to inhumane and involuntary drug treatment programs.
- "I will pay, for a drug lord: five million [pesos] ($107,000) if he is dead. If he is alive, only 4.999 million," he laughed.
- Data gathered by the ABS-CBN Investigative and Research Group show that there have been 834 drug-related fatalities from May 10 to August 4. Of the total number, 512 were killed during police operations, and 246 were killed by unidentified gunmen. At least 76 were victims of summary executions. These numbers are reflected in the daily news reports of bodies being found in various areas and people being killed by unknown assassins. ... There have also been concerns that poor people have become the main victims of Duterte's war on drugs, with many slain suspected drug peddlers not being given their day in court. Duterte, however, is defiant, saying impoverished drug ushers are most likely to be drug peddlers themselves. I do not care. I really don’t care because I know na kapag iyang bangag na -- a user is always a pusher except if you are the son of an Ayala or Gokongwei, Duterte said.
- Der aussichtsreichste Kandidat bei der Präsidentenwahl auf den Philippinen hat angekündigt, 100.000 Kriminelle hinrichten zu lassen. Das kommt bei vielen gut an.
