Prosecute, Arrest Duterte and Dela Rosa for Tokhang-related Abuses
Bagong Alyansang Makabayan and allied groups led a protest in front of Batasan in support of relatives of Tokhang victims who testified about the impact of the brutal ‘war on drugs’.
The protest demanded accountability by calling for the prosecution and arrest of Tokhang masterminds led by former President Rodrigo Duterte and former police chief General Bato dela Rosa. Activists also highlighted the continuing drug-related killings and extrajudicial killings under the government of Ferdinand ‘Bongbong’ Marcos Jr.
Duterte and Tokhang enforcers should be punished for unleashing terror in communities which led to the killing of thousands of drug suspects and innocent civilians. They continue to deny the atrocities committed under their watch even if the Tokhang carnage was well-documented. Bayan stands in solidarity with Rise Up for Life members who are bravely standing their ground and sharing testimonies about the abuses of state forces and the culpability of Duterte.
The protest is part of the continuing pursuit of justice and accountability, which includes support for the ongoing investigation of the International Criminal Court.
