(EDITORS NOTE: Image depicts graphic content.) A member of the police's homicide division takes pictures of the corpse of a suspected drug pusher after he was shot dead following a police operation in Manila, Philippines, July 18, 2016. More than 700 people suspected to have been involved with drugs have been killed by police or vigilantes in the Philippines since President Rodrigo Duterte was swept to power more than a month ago. Duterte pledged to kill thousands in an all-out war against drugs, his only real election platform that won him the presidency by a massive margin in a country where drugs and crime are deeply-rooted.
