00:00Some of the victims of the Duterte administration's war on drugs were targeted
00:05by the former president of the International Criminal Court.
00:08Their hopes were shattered by the long-awaited justice.
00:13Bon Aquino was targeted.
00:18Some of the victims of the war on drugs were closely watched
00:23by former President Rodrigo Duterte in the pre-trial of his case in the ICC.
00:28I'm angry because his reaction was like that.
00:32It was like he was too weak, he became weak, while he was very brave.
00:38I hope that in other countries where he was taken, he will also be treated fairly.
00:45Because here in the Philippines, we have no hope.
00:49We went to other countries.
00:51Shira Escudero recalled the bitter torture of her brother, who was tortured and killed.
00:58It's good that he has a due process.
01:00It's good that he is experiencing the human rights that we fought for.
01:04But did we lose our human rights?
01:08We are family, my brother.
01:12They were also with the ICC Assistant to Counsel, Atty. Cristina Conti,
01:17who explained the events of the pre-trial.

01:29A woman whose child died in a gunfight in August 2017
01:36was accompanied by police and barangay officers
01:39who were with her child on the drug watch list.
01:42We are thankful to the Lord because justice was served for our child's death.
01:48And of course, we were also afraid for our salvation.
01:53Because, of course, our enemy is a big man.
01:58I hope he will be jailed.
01:59According to the ICC Assistant to Counsel, Atty. Cristina Conti,
02:02the ICC may call the saved victims of the EJK
02:07and the families of the victims of the EJK to participate in the trial.
02:11But they are not required to go to the ICC.
02:15It is not required or ultimo that all the victims go to the ICC.
02:21But it is required and recommended that they make a statement.
02:26And they can do that through representatives, legal representatives.
02:31As of now, Atty. Conti knows that there are at least three EJK victims who are still alive.
