Church Groups Urge: Defend Life, Stop Drug War Killings

Church and religious groups have decried the surge in killings of suspected drug pushers and have called on the faithful to “defend the dignity of life. Fr. Marco Sulayao, chair of Promotion of Church People’s Response (PCPR) on Panay Island, said while religious people support the eradication of illegal drugs and rehabilitation of drug dependents, these should be done without the “wanton” killings of suspected drug pushers, reports Inquirer.net.
