Two women cry in grief after armed assailants in a motorcycle shot their loved one in a main thoroughfare on July 23, 2016 in Manila, Philippines. The victim was an alleged drug peddler a claim disputed by his wife and maintained her husband is nothing more than a pedicab driver plying his trade when he was shot in front of her. Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte declared a war on crime and drugs after winning the presidential elections on May 9, 2016. President Duterte has recently been living up to his nickname, 'The Punisher', as Philippine police have been conducting night time drug raids on almost a daily basis. With reports of at least 300 drug related deaths since the start of July, Human rights groups and the Catholic church have objected to the use of brutal force by the Police.

A pistol is seen next to fresh blood stains near the body of an alleged drug dealer, who was killed in a police operation against illegal drugs, in Manila, Philippines, 12 July 2016. Recent figures released by the Philippine National Police (PNP) show that from July to September 2016 around 3,500 people have been killed during the anti-drug campaign, with over a 1,000 killed in police operations and the rest by so-called “vigilantes” or in unexplained killings that are under investigation by the police. With a death rate of about 38 people per day, over 700,000 people involved in the drug trade 'voluntarily surrendered' to authorities for fear of being killed and over 16,000 have been arrested. Most of the targeted individuals are suspected by police or vigilantes of their involvement in illegal drug trade, including drug users and drug distributors. (Photo by Mark R. Cristino/EPA)
