Following the call for their resignation, the Commission on Human Rights (CHR) on Friday said criminal and administrative charges should be filed against erring police officers who would be confirmed to have links to the illicit drug trade.
The CHR issued the remarks days after Department of the Interior and Local Government Secretary Benhur Abalos asked the full colonels and generals of the Philippine National Police to submit their courtesy resignations amid the internal cleansing among the police ranks.
Last month, the human rights commission welcomed the administration’s Buhay Ingatan, Droga’y Ayawan” or BIDA program, which seeks to fight the drug problem through demand reduction and rehabilitation of persons who use illegal drugs. “Parallel to the adoption of a human-rights based means to drug recovery must be the imposition of criminal-legal sanctions against guilty perpetrators,” the commission said.
