Appeals judge allows investigation into 'war on drugs' in the Philippines to continue
Fox News
An investigation into the "war on drugs" in the Philippines can resume, according to an appeals judge. Over 6,000 people have been killed in the crackdown on drug crime in the country.
The Philippines launched its appeal after judges in January agreed with the court’s chief prosecutor, Karim Khan, that deferring the investigation to Manila was "not warranted." At the time, judges ruled that the domestic proceedings did not amount to "tangible, concrete and progressive investigative steps in a way that would sufficiently mirror the court’s investigation."
At a hearing Tuesday, Presiding Judge Marc Perrin de Brichambaut said that the five-judge appeals panel, in a majority decision, agreed and rejected the Philippines' appeal.
