Many drug users and dealers killed after President ordered shooting on sight

Philippine: Since the order given by Philippine's new president Duterte to authorities and citizens last month to kill and shoot on sight any drug dealers and users found with drugs, the death tolls as a result of such order has risen to almost 300 people which is sure to be higher due to some victims that were not reported missing or identified and were unlikely included in the count.


Horrific images as a results of Duterte’s crackdown on drug dealers have been emphasized in series of photographs by Getty’s Dondi Tawatao.

According to police report, 293 suspected drug users and dealers has been killed during police operations between July 1 and July 24.

Human rights groups say this figure does not take into account countless people murdered by vigilantes in street executions.

Several reports have emerged of accused drug users and dealers being executed and left on streets with signs allegedly “admitting” their guilt.

For president Duterte, he is not worried as far as everything is going to plan.
In a message to police, he had said;

“Double your efforts. Triple them if need be,”

“We will not stop until the last drug lord, the last financier and the last pusher have surrendered or been put behind bars ... or below ground if you wish.”
