Families of activists killed in the 2021 “Bloody Sunday” raids have lodged a complaint with the UN Human Rights Committee against former President Duterte and police officials. The complaint cites human rights violations, pointing to killings in simultaneous raids in Calabarzon, resulting in nine deaths. Legal avenues within the Philippines failed, prompting activists to seek international intervention. Human rights lawyers argue for accountability, citing police “overpowering” of victims. The case aims to supplement the ongoing ICC investigation into Duterte’s alleged abuses.
