Human Rights Day in Philippines
The body an alleged drug user, who was killed by unidentified assailants, lies inside a house in Quezon city, Metro Manila, Philippines, December 8, 2017. On International Human Rights Day, thousands of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte's critics marched the streets to condemn what they say are the many human rights violations under his watch. The protests come in light of the recent killings of activist leaders and indigenous peoples, the alleged human rights abuses by the military during the siege of Islamic State militants in Marawi, the thousands killed in the government's deadly campaign against illegal drugs, and Duterte's proclamation labeling communist rebels and left-wing groups as terrorists.
