Human Rights Watch, one of the most respected and credible human-rights organizations in the world, has come out with a scathing report that indicts the Philippine government, particularly the military, for what it called as a “dirty war” against left-leaning activists and dissenters throughout the Philippines. Based on more than 100 interviews, the report, titled Scared Silent: Impunity for Extrajudicial Killings in the Philippines, details the impunity in the killings of members of leftist political parties and nongovernmental organizations, journalists, outspoken clergy, anti-mining activists, and agricultural reform activists, as well explains why the government has failed to solve any of the murders it investigated.
