President Rodrigo Duterte hurled a fresh round of invectives against United Nations Special Rapporteur on Summary Killings Agnes Callamard at a news conference in Pampanga on Monday.
The president's tirade was in reaction to Callamard's tweet extending her condolences to the family of delos Santos, a high school student who was among the more than 90 people killed in what the police described as “one time big time” operations against drug pushers.
In a Twitter post, the UN rapporteur called Duterte’s war on drugs “cruel” and wrote the hashtag "#Makehisdeaththelast". She also asked Duterte to investigate all “unlawful deaths” and to stop all murders.
