Former Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte's so called 'war on drugs' killed thousands. The government says a little over 6,000 people were killed in legitimate anti-drug operations. Rights groups however dispute both claims - that of legitimacy and the number of those killed. It prompted the International Criminal Court to open an investigation into the Drugs War. But some concerned Filipinos are already carrying out their own investigations. And their findings are troubling. A forensic pathologist and a priest are uncovering evidence of execution-style killings of people allegedly involved in the drugs trade. Exhuming remains and delivering accurate death documents, they have helped Philippine families to gather new evidence.
But pursuing justice for Philippine drug war victims is very difficult.
