The alleged death toll of 27,000 related to the war on drugs is “one big lie,” Malacañang said Wednesday as it blasted the “stubborn” and “incorrigible” Amnesty International for peddling false information.

Presidential Spokesman Salvador Panelo has rejected the allegation made by the London-based rights group that the government has recorded such number of alleged extrajudicial killings related to the anti-drug crackdown.

Panelo meantime challenged the Amnesty International to show proof of the alleged extrajudicial killings instead of peddling “bogus information” about the campaign against illegal drugs He said Amnesty International could “not parrot the bogus information it gets from the anti-Duterte forces and get away with it.”

He said the group must present “facts and figures” on the names of the alleged 27,000 deaths as well as circumstances surrounding those deaths. “Otherwise, their failure will only validate the grotesque falsity of their claim and lace it with condemnable malice,” he said.
