Human Rights Advisory on the Conduct of Checkpoints in Connection with the 13 May 2019 National and Local Elections

While we recognize the laudable efforts of the Philippine National Police (PNP) to establish checkpoints across the country to seize illegal effects and apprehend suspected criminal s in possession of ordinance, loose firearms, explosives and other weapons that could be used to disturb the impending election, we urge them to conduct the same within the breadth and spectrum of human rights. As such, we implore all members of the PNP to strictly observe and comply with the foregoing laws and guidelines.
