DOJ vows: EJK probe won't spare Duterte
The Philippine Star|October 19, 2024
The government's investigation on cold cases of extrajudicial killings (EJKs) will spare no one -- not even former president Rodrigo Duterte, whose so-called war on drugs led to the deaths of thousands of drug suspects.

Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla made this clear yesterday as the Philippine National Police (PNP) and the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) have begun taking another look at killings of drug suspects by security forces in the name of Duterte's campaign against illegal drugs.

In a chance interview on Thursday, Remulla stressed the importance of uncovering the truth behind the killings, which are now also being investigated by the International Criminal Court.

"Whoever it may be, we all know that it is important to reveal the truth to the public," Remulla said.
