Police officers investigate a scene during an operation against illegal drugs in Payatas, Quezon City, north of Manila, Philippines, 05 October 2016. According to reports, two were killed, including a former police officer, and around 100 persons arrested during a buy bust operation by the police, one day after Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte lashed out in response to EU and US criticism of the anti-drug campaign launched by his government. Since Duterte took office on June 30, more than 3,500 people have been killed in military operations and extrajudicial executions carried out as part of the anti-drug campaign. (Photo by Mark R.
