1800人死于菲律宾禁毒战争

An escalating war on drugs in the Philippines has led to almost 1,800 deaths under new president Rodrigo Duterte, the country’s police chief has said.

菲律宾警察总长表示，新总统罗德里戈•杜特尔特(Rodrigo Duterte)上台后，不断升级的禁毒战争已造成近1800人死亡。

At a Senate committee hearing on extrajudicial executions in the Philippines, Ronald Dela Rosa said 712 people had been killed in police anti-narcotics operations since July 1, the day after Mr Duterte assumed the presidency, while 1,067 deaths were being investigated as drug-related vigilante killings.

菲律宾参议院一委员会就国内发生的法外处决事件举行了听证会，罗纳德•德拉罗萨(Ronald Dela Rosa)在会上表示，自7月1日杜特尔特就任总统后，有712人在警方缉毒行动中被杀，还有1067起死亡正被作为与毒品相关的自告奋勇者杀人案件在调查中。

The new figures come as Mr Duterte fends off criticism at home and abroad over his anti-drugs campaign, which has seen 600,000 potential suspects voluntarily turn themselves in to authorities.

这一新数据公布之际，杜特尔特正抵御国内外对其禁毒运动的指责，已有60万名潜在嫌疑人向当局自首。

The president lashed out at the UN on Sunday for voicing human rights concerns over his war on drugs, saying the Philippines might leave the organisation and form a new body with China and African nations.

联合国表示，菲律宾总统发起的禁毒战争存在人权问题。周日杜特尔特因此向联合国发起抨击，并表示菲律宾可能离开联合国，转而与中国和非洲国家组成一个新机构。
