Manila: Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte is once again in the news for his eccentric mood. The President has ordered the shooting of the rebels and has justified the death of some people in the police action on Sunday. At the same time, human rights organizations have opened a front against Duterte. Describing the police action as murder, he said that the government is crushing human rights to silence opponents.
Duterte said this
According to the news published in our associate website WION, the police of the Philippines conducted a police raid on Sunday, during which at least nine people died. Police say that all the rebels had weapons, so they also had to fire. Whereas Human Rights Organizations say that the police deliberately killed them. The police action comes after President Rodrigo Duterte's statement in which he said that if the rebels have weapons, they should be shot without worrying about human rights.
Spokesman defends
President Rodrigo Duterte's spokesman Harry (Roque) defended the 'kill' order, saying that the President has ordered only armed rebels to be killed. Despite this, the government will investigate Sunday's police action. At the same time, the Catholic Bishops' Conference, the most influential church group of Christians in the Philippines, has also come against the government. He issued a statement condemning the President for Sunday's bloody Holi.
Police gave clarification
Lt. General Antonio Parlade, head of the anti-libel task force, told news agency Reuters that the police action was completely in line with the law. Police had warrants to investigate weapons and explosives. Whereas the human rights activists say that the police did everything according to a well thought-out strategy. According to him, so far thousands of innocent people have been killed in President Duterte's alleged war against drugs. In most cases, the police argue that the opponents had weapons and were resisting their arrest.
Since coming to power in 2016, Rodrigo Duterte has waged a campaign against communist rebels. He wants the communist to be completely wiped out, which is why he has given the police complete freedom to kill the rebels. Let us know that Duterte is also famous for controversial statements. Some time ago he made strange remarks about women. He had said that it is not just a matter of women's power to take over power. Women are unable to control their emotions, due to which they become weaker than men.
