The proposed House resolution defending former President Rodrigo Duterte from the International Criminal Court probe on alleged crimes against humanity cannot “cleanse” his administration’s record on drug war deaths, Albay Representative Edcel Lagman said Friday.
“Although the verbiage of House Resolution 780 urges the House of Representatives to defend Duterte against the resumption of the investigation of the ICC prosecutors, it does not deny that from 6,000 to 30,000 alleged drug suspects, mostly from the marginalized sectors, have been summarily killed in the wake of Duterte’s murderous campaign against illegal drugs,” Lagman said.
