Silencing witnesses

The Philippine Star

April 07, 2025

EDITORIAL

In Philippine elections, harassment and murder have become favored tools for eliminating rivals and undermining the people's will.

In criminal prosecution, cases have been lost due to the harassment and murder of key witnesses and even prosecutors and judges.

So authorities cannot take lightly the complaint of relatives of those killed in the war on drugs during the Duterte administration, that they are being harassed online and in person and threatened with physical violence. Also facing similar harassment and threats is one of their lawyers, Kristina Conti, who is an International Criminal Court assistant to counsel.
