A  DailyMail article  explains that almost 300 people have been killed by vigilante police officers operating outside the law in the Philippines since July in Rodrigo Duterte’s extrajudicial war on illegal drugs, with Duterte actually encouraging people to execute whoever they suspect of being a drug dealer without their victims being given any sort of legal due process.

The article contains images of wives and other family members clutching the lifeless bodies of the victims of the executions.

“’Double your efforts. Triple them if need be,’ Mr Duterte told police.”
