Butch Olano, AI section director, said House Bill No. 7184, which was passed on third and final reading at the House, on Tuesday, showed “a dangerous disregard for human rights guarantees under domestic and international law.”Olano noted that the bill was passed was only a week after the “misencounter” between members of the Philippine National Police and the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency that left two police officers, two PDEA agents, and a PDEA informant dead.

“HB 7814 further encourages arbitrary arrest and detention of drug suspects and will likely facilitate the use of torture and other cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment,” Olano said.
