Cases of “nanlaban” (fought back) in police operations against illegal drugs should be probed deeply by trial courts “and cannot be merely asserted without trial of facts.”

CHR Commissioner Gwen Pimentel Gana said that the commission has conducted its own probe on several “nanlaban” cases and found that “actual truth remains elusive because of certain barriers.”

“This restriction makes it difficult to ascertain the veracity of police claims, as well as the extent of efforts extended in investigating deaths said to be not related to law enforcement operations,” he said. “At times, these operatives are even recommended for awards or recognition despite the occurrence of deaths in their operations,” he said.

“The police were said to have barged in without presenting search or arrest warrants, and they would even kick down house doors while victims were sleeping or resting inside,” he said.
