EU Parliament denounces deterioration of human rights, press freedom in PH

The European Union Parliament denounced the deteriorating state of human rights and press freedom in the Philippines under the administration of President Rodrigo Duterte.

The EU lawmakers criticized the alarming extrajudicial killings and other human rights violations committed in the Duterte government's war on drugs. The EU resolution also decried the"threats, harassments, intimidation, unfair prosecutions, and violence" against journalists in the country. The group also says that the Philippine government should drop all politically motivated charges against detained Sen. Leila de Lima. They also called for her release to"freely exercise her rights and duties as an elected representative."

Press freedom? We all have the right to speak here, just do not commit libel and tell more lies like mariaressa DO NOT MEDDLE with our affairs as we do not meddle yours. You are insulting us, we are a sovereign country. Do your research!

Pres. Duterte said 'EU... f*** you'😅😅😅

Screw the Euro-pee-ons. You hypocrites have more Covid cases and deaths while the Philippine government took care of its citizens with less Covid cases. Europeans killed both innocent and bad people during its war with terrorism.What’s the difference with our war with drugs?

European Union lawmakers are bullshit! Why not go to North Korea, Syria or Iran instead?

Ano pakialam nyo. Mind your own damn business!

EU flexing their powers on a third world nation! Hey EU how about you try that on China? :) hahahahaa

Mumurahin lang ng inutil ang EU parliament, siguro dapat nang mag-impose ng sanction ang mga bansa para matauhan yung demonyo dito sa atin. Parang ganun sa ginagawa nila sa north korea

When are they going to call out the rich nations including some of their own members in the European Union? “For decades, Human Rights Watch has documented excessive use of force by police and racially discriminatory policing – most recently in the US, France, and Brazil –...”
