INQUIRER: Churches slam inaction on human rights
- The largest alliance of Protestant and non-Roman Catholic churches in the Phils has scored the government for the continuing impunity and non-enforcement of human rights in the country. This developed as thousands of protesters held a rally on Mendiola to mark International Human Rights Day on Monday. In a statement, the National Council of churches in the Philippines (NCCP) noted that there were 132 cases of extrajudicial killings with "zero prosecution" in the present administration and that military officers charged or implicated in abductions or torture were instead promoted.
