The European Union (EU) Delegation to the Philippines on Wednesday joined the international community in expressing its concern over the recent killing of nine activists in simultaneous police and military operations in the Calabarzon region.
In a statement, the EU welcomed the announcement made by the Philippine government to investigate the killings of the nine individuals by operatives of the Philippine National Police and the Armed Forces of the Philippines on March 7, 2021.
“Reports on the use of excessive force against unarmed individuals and alleged irregularities in the law enforcement operations have raised concerns,” the EU said.
The EU recalled the commitment made by the Philippines at the Human Rights Council to ensure accountability for human rights violations and abuses in accordance with due process under national courts of law, and in full compliance with its international human rights obligations.
