Al Jazeera
At least 61 lawyers, prosecutors and judges were killed in the last five years, prompting calls for the UN to help investigate.
On a late Wednesday evening in early March, Filipino human rights lawyer Angelo Karlo Guillen headed home after a long day at his office in Iloilo, a city renowned for its well-preserved Spanish-era homes in the central Philippine island of Panay. As he walked to his residence, two men wearing ski masks appeared and started attacking him. The assailants took his backpack, which contained his laptop and court case files, but left his wallet and smartphone untouched, according to the police report. They escaped with two other accomplices on separate motorbikes, and have never been found.
