White ribbon campaign for drug war victims launched
The progressive political party Bayan Muna, alongside human rights advocates, launched the "White Ribbon: Duterte Panagutin" campaign to gather nationwide support for holding former President Rodrigo Duterte accountable for the drug war.
The campaign aims to build nationwide awareness and pressure for accountability, starting March 28.
The launch event, held at the Bantayog ng mga Bayani in Quezon City, gathered families of victims, church groups, and civil society organizations.
Bayan Muna stated that the white ribbon symbolizes collective grief and the resolve to seek justice for the victims.
Former Bayan Muna representative Neri Colmenares emphasized that the killings constitute crimes against humanity and cannot be dismissed as government shortcomings.
Official government figures state at least 6,252 people were killed in police anti-drug operations between 2016 and 2022, though activists place the death toll higher.
