MANILA\u2014The Philippine National Police (PNP) on Thursday challenged the Human Rights Watch (HRW) to show proof on their claim that police are behind extra-judicial killings (EJKs).<\/p>\n

\u201dKung talagang may ebidensya na magpapatunay na may maling ginawa ang aming miyembro, pasagutin po natin ‘yon. Hayaang makasuhan,\u201d PNP Public Information Office (PIO) chief and spokesman Senior Supt. Dionardo Carlos said in a press conference in Camp Crame, Quezon City.<\/p>\n

\u201dLet’s throw the book at these people if they committed a mistake,\u201d Carlos said.<\/p>\n

Carlos added that if the HRW can show such a proof, then file a case against the erring PNP member.<\/p>\n

\u201dIf violators continue to violate RA 9165 (Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002), what are we going to do? We are mandated by law to stop them from violating,\u201d Carlos said.<\/p>\n

\u201dDo not generalize from 24 cases of suspected EJKs. We have 48,000 people arrested alive. Ito ay resulta ng ating kampanya kontra droga (This is the result of our campaign against drugs),\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

On the HRW\u2019s claim that police are committing crime against humanity, Carlos said, \u201cWhat are they saying? Not all 7,000 deaths recorded by rights groups are drug-related.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201dIn drug war, we don’t want 2,500 people killed in operations but Hindi namin ititigil yung mandato na magpatupad ng batas (we have to live to continue our mandate),\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The PNP official also assured cooperation with other probe bodies.<\/p>\n

\u201dThe chief PNP (Director General Ronald \u2018Bato\u201d Dela Rosa) said we are open. Other investigating bodies can do their investigation. Makikipagtulungan kami (We will cooperate),\u201d Carlos said.<\/p>\n

\u201dAng hinihiling lang po namin (What we are asking), be specific. Let’s look at each case kung ano ang tatayo at hindi natin sasabihin na (which will stand and we\u2019ll not say that), at 24, this is now a crime against humanity,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
