  • HRW director analyzes impact of Philippines' War on Drug campaign on minors

    Manila, May 27 (EFE).- At just 10 years of age, Karla witnessed the murder of her father, gunned down by four masked assailants during her aunt's wake. Her father died instantly, her 13-year-old brother was wounded in the leg, and before her eyes her family was shattered.The incident occurred in December 2016 in Mandaluyong, Manila, in one of the bloodiest months of the drug war. The murder of Renato Aldeguer, Karla's father, went unpunished for lack of evidence, but research suggests that the assailants mistook him for someone else in a drug reckoning.Renato is one of the 27,000 victims of almost four years of the incessant war on drugs waged by President Rodrigo Duterte from the first day of his mandate, but the trauma inherited by Renato’s children is not recorded in any statistics."Our Happy Family is Gone," a Human Rights Watch (HRW) investigation released Wednesday, reports the psychological, economic and social impact of the campaign on minors.(Camera: SARA GOMEZ).FOOTAGE SHOWS AN ONLINE INTERVIEW WITH HRW DIRECTOR PHIL ROBERTSON.SOUNDBITES: HRW DIRECTOR PHIL ROBERTSON (IN ENGLISH).
