THE Department of the Interior and Local Government's (DILG)'s call for police officials implicated in the illegal drug trade to resign violates their right to due process, according to an official of an international rights organization.

Department of Interior and Local Government Secretary Benjamin Abalos Jr. answers questions during a press conference at Camp Crame national police headquarters in Quezon City on Wednesday, Jan. 4, 2023 after he accused some 300 police colonels and generals to resign over their alleged involvement in the illegal drug trade. He accused them of 'infecting' the government's war on drugs. PHOTO BY JOHN ORVEN VERDOTE
