[h=1]Justice, Philippines style: Gruesome photos show a dead man's head bound with duct tape and a sign reading 'I'm a pusher' pinned to his chest - after the president urged people to 'go ahead and kill' drug addicts[/h]
mages showing slain drug dealers with 'I'm a pusher' signs covering their chests in the Philippines have emerged after the president urged people to 'go ahead and kill' addicts.The gruesome scenes of alleged drug dealers found shot dead in Manila on Friday are growing increasingly common as police wage a bloody war on narcotics.
The government's top lawyer called for police to kill more suspected drug criminals, as he defended President Rodrigo Duterte's brutal war on crime against mounting criticism.
Police investigate the dead body of an alleged drug dealer, his face covered with packing tape and a placard reading 'I'm a pusher'
The gruesome scenes are growing increasingly common as Filipino police wage a bloody war on narcotics
Police have confirmed killing more than 110 suspects since Duterte won elections in May promising a law-and-order crackdown that would claim thousands of lives and fill funeral parlours.
As the official death toll has mounted, and other bodies not confirmed killed by police have been found with placards declaring them drug traffickers, human rights lawyers and some lawmakers have expressed deep concerns about the war on crime spiralling out of control.
In response to the criticism, Solicitor General Jose Calida held a press conference on Monday at national police headquarters to insist on the legality of the police killings and to encourage more deaths of people suspected of being involved in the drug trade.
