Philippine police kill 14 men rights groups say were farmers

Dozens of police, backed by army troops, were to conduct court-authorized home searches Saturday in a city and two towns in Negros Oriental province when the 14 men violently fought back. A police officer was shot in the leg and wounded in the anti-insurgency and criminality sweep that also led to the arrests of 15 other suspects, police officials said.

"There were 14 suspects that engaged the raiders in a shootout during the implementation of the search warrants resulting to their deaths," Sinas told the national police chief in a report. "The appalling conduct of these 'police operations' obviously aims to make peasants, activists and other ordinary citizens of Negros to cower in fear, surrender their rights, and accept the wave of terror under the de facto martial law," the Northern Negros Alliance of Human Rights Advocates said.

President Rodrigo Duterte declared martial law in the country's south in 2017 to contain a deadly siege by Islamic State group-aligned militants and other insurgents. Although Negros Oriental lies outside the south, it is in a region about 590 kilometres south of Manila where military and police forces have intensified counterinsurgency raids in recent years.

Ontario lawyer fired after claiming 14- and 15-year-old girls are 'sexually mature'The lawyer for an Ontario children’s aid society has been fired after claiming a 14- or 15-year-old girl is a “sexually mature young woman,” not a child. Absolutely. They say Omar Khadr was a child at 15 but yet this stupid lawyer said 14 year old girl was an adult. Double standards? This makes me sick. That's the right thing to do: Fire him. Sexually mature yes, but not mentally fit, nor have fully grown frontal lobe to do or decide for anything. Or else we wouldn’t be seeing all these 13 year olds having shit tones of children at 13, 14, 15. Teens can’t be hold accountable for what they do as teens.
