As one officer with an anti-illegal drugs unit in Manila reportedly told the human rights group, police are paid “per head,” between $160 and $300 depending on whether the personkilled is a suspected user or dealer.“We’re paid in cash, secretly, by headquarters,” the officer reportedly said. “There’s no incentive for arresting. We’re not paid anything.”Amnesty International’s investigation documents 33 drug-related incidents where 59 people were killed, the vast majority of which “appear to havebeen extrajudicial executions,” it said.The lengthy report, released Tuesday, concludes that the widespread killings, many ordered directly by government, “may constitute crimes against humanity” under international law.“This is not a war on drugs, but a war on the poor,” Tirana Hassan, Amnesty International’s crisis response director, said in a statement. “Often on the flimsiestof evidence, people accused of using or selling drugs are being killed for cash in an economy of murder.”Of the 7,025 drug-related killings between July 1, 2016 and Jan. 21, 2017, police were directly involved in at least 2,500, the group found.

Additionally, officers have reportedly been found planting evidence and falsifying reports, stealing from those they kill and working directly with funeral homes to make an extra profit off the grieving families.On Wednesday, Filipino Justice Secretary Vitaliano Aguirre II,dismissed Amnesty International’s report, claiming the killings can’t be crimes against humanity because drug offenders are not human, The Washington Post reported.“How can that be when your war is only against drug lords, drug addicts, drug pushers? You consider them humanity? No. I believe not,” he said, according tothe publication.Duterte’s violent anti-drug campaign has created what the report calls a “pervasive climate of fear” in the Philippines. Photojournalist Daniel Berehulak, whodocumented 57 homicide victimsover 35 days for The New York Times, wrote that his experience “felt like a new level of ruthlessness: police officers’ summarily shooting anyone suspected of dealing or even using drugs, vigilantes’ taking seriously Mr. Duterte’s call to ‘slaughter them all.
