10 KILLED IN BLOODY NIGHT OF DRUG BUSTS: PHILIPPINE POLICE.
Students from the University of the Philippines shout slogans during a rally at their campus following their walkout from their classes to call for an "end to President Rodrigo Duterte's rising dictatorship" in suburban Quezon city northeast of Manila, Philippines.
MANILA: Philippine police killed 10 suspected drug peddlers and arrested 63 people in dozens of operations during the single deadliest night of the country’s ferocious war on drugs since police resumed participation in early December.
Since President Rodrigo Duterte allowed police to resume operations following a two-month suspension over the death of an unarmed teenager, 88 people have been killed and close to 9,000 arrested, the latest police data show.
The operations ran from Wednesday night through to Thursday morning in the province of Bulacan, north of Manila, the capital. This is the province where 32 people were killed in a single day in August last year.
