House Quad Comm tuloy sa pagsulong ng hustisya para sa Duterte drug war victims

SINIGURO ng House Quad Committee na patuloy nilang isusulong ang hustisya para sa mga biktima ng madugong drug war ng Duterte administration.

Ang pahayag ay kasunod sa paggunita ng All Souls’ Day sa bansa nitong Sabado, November 2, 2024.

“As we remember our departed loved ones on All Souls’ Day, we are reminded of the countless Filipino families who grieve the loss of loved ones taken too soon. Our commitment to justice is unwavering,” pahayag ni Sta Rosa, Laguna Rep. Dan Fernandez, co-chair ng Quad Comm at chairman ng House Committee on Public Order and Safety.

Bukod sa Committee Public Order and Safety, kasama sa Quad Comm ang Committees on Dangerous Drugs, Human Rights, at Public Accounts. Mandato nito na imbestigahan ang extrajudicial killings, kalakalan ng iligal na droga, operasyon ng iligal na Philippine offshore gaming operators (POGO) at paglabag sa karapatang pantao sa pagpapatupad ng Duterte drug war.

Batay sa datos ng gobyerno mahigit 6,000 ang namatay sa operasyon ng mga pulis mula 2016 hanggang 2021 pero malayo ito sa mahigit 27,000 hanggang 30,000 na mga kaso ng EJK, ayon sa mga human rights advocates at organization.

“The road to justice may be challenging, but the Quad Comm remains resolute in its duty. Our work is far from over, and we will not rest until we have brought the truth to light,” saad pa nito.

Dagdag pa ni Fernandez, “This is about more than just accountability, it is about restoring faith in our institutions and ensuring that no Filipino, regardless of their social or economic status, is ever denied justice.”
