drugs. police claim her father was armed and in the middle of a drug deal michael's mother says that wasn't so. i mean what they're saying is there was a bypassed but that's not true in reality we were all asleep by bus they said and they forced themselves into the house by bust means there was a drug transaction i asked the chief where is the mark money but they couldn't show me anything. michael's death received any little attention until a former police chief spout whiteside outrage with his comments on what happened. when they should go with a horse you really need to secure things 1st so that there will be no collateral damage at all but like i said we are in an imperfect world if you have the police do you want a trial to get hit never because you also have children you wouldn't want that to happen but shit happens. during operations shit happens.
3:34 pm

3:35 pm
on that i'm joined by carlos on the philippines researcher with human rights watch tell us how significant is this u.n. investigation going to be. well this is quite significant oh no doubt that the u.n. human rights council adopted a resolution that was initiated by ice none supported by a lot of countries and even a lot of course regional so regional support so this is very significant because we have always known for the nesting accountability mechanisms in the philippines will not work to make is how you make a secret happen so now that the international community has acted. a step forward for accountability in the philippines and this is going through our restart hopes of the house and the houses of victims of the drug but practically on the ground when this investigation really make any difference bearing in mind that the philippines government had already dismissed the resolution when it was stable that
3:36 pm
is really well that's just being this the onus now is on the philippine government to comply its human rights of the occasion not just at the u.n. but also the human rights council now. you know you can choose who will defy the u.n. or you can choose to block and stop the madness that's been operating for us years and if they choose not to comply the philippines would become a human ice barrayar on the world and you know we don't want obviously to happen but you know we're crossing our fingers the president of turkey and his government we'll see by you of this investigation and just stop the killings and comply with the u.n. but president to step in the past has been of loggerheads against many domestic bodies when it came to issues that didn't match his interests is there any reason to expect that this thing would be any different. well not a lot to be honest with you being directly from the full of the philippine

3:39 pm
that this ruling opens the door for other perpetrators of sexual harassment or even sexual violence to criminalize the victims and arrow women's rights organization in southeast asia tweeted to say indonesia is setting a new precedent with this story now in the age of me to victim gets jailed while her harasser walks free and then you knees and women have also taken social media to voice their anger one of them says the verdict creates a ripple effect that will affect other victims of sexual harassment she's afraid that their fate will resemble by no rails and another woman right. seeing that this time the law has failed to protect and instead cause pain. now the verdict against by no is final her legal team can't lodge an appeal and so her only remaining option really is to get amnesty from indonesia's president who would go to 0 and interesting lee sort of weighed in on the case
