According to the statement, the wave of killings of suspected drug dealers has "left bloodied bodies in the city streets and instilled a climate of fear among Filipinos'".


It states the number of deaths from June 30 to September 19, the date when it was written, has reached 1,027. 

It also criticized how the victims were people on the margins of society, who are poor and are vulnerable targets.

The petition also called for intervention, and is planned to be delivered to the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Ban Ki-moon, the European Commission and the Commission on Human Rights.

The petition needs 375 more votes before it reaches the targeted 1,000 and will then be sent to the said sectors. MJM
