A UNITED Nations (UN) expert hit back at President Rodrigo R. Duterte after the Philippine leader hurled a slew of invectives against her for condemning the killing of a teenager by cops carrying out the government’s deadly war on drugs. In a statement reported by News5, UN Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial killings Agnes Callamard said Kian delos Santos, the 17-year-old high-school student killed by Caloocan City cops on Aug. 17 in an anti-drug operation, deserves “dignity and justice” – not profanities. “His family and families like his demand our respect and empathy. Not expletives,” Ms. Callamard said. “States must also provide redress and reparations and ensure that no person acts with impunity,” she added. — Ian Nicolas P. Cigaral
