PNP's decision to share drug war records a good sign–De Lima

The Philippine National Police’s move to share information of its drug war records for a state review is a good sign, opposition Senator Leila de Lima said.

“The openness of the current PNP leadership in sharing their drug war records is a good sign. Let’s see how far the DOJ-led inter-agency panel would be willing to go to uncover the plain, unvarnished truth, and determine ultimate accountability for the EJKs,” De Lima said, referring to the Department of Justice.

The Commission on Human Rights earlier lauded the PNP and its new chief, Gen. Guillermo Eleazar, for opening some of its drug war records for scrutiny. The CHR previously lamented that restrictions on access to police records hindered its probe into cases where victims were killed by law enforcers for allegedly fighting back.

According to Gueverra, the purpose of the review is for the DOJ to determine which administrative cases could lead to possible criminal investigation. Eleazar had reportedly left the decision to share the police’s records on the war on drugs with the CHR to the DOJ.
