Human rights body reminds Espenido to follow police protocol in drug raids

THE Commission on Human Rights reminded police, particularly Chief Insp. Jovie Espenido, to follow protocol in conducting drug raids or buy-bust operations to avoid being accused of resorting to extrajudicial killings (EJKs).

“It is a leadership decision, whatever the intention we can only watch what will happen. Be assured that we will be monitoring what will happen, whether there will excess or abuse of authority.  We just want to remind you to observe due process,” said Commissioner Gwendolyn Pimentel-Gana, daughter of former senator Aquilino “Nene” Pimentel.
