　　Philippines Duterte Urges Citizens to Shoot DrugDealers

　　The Philippine president-elect has a new program tofight crime.

　　President-elect Rodrigo Duterte said people shouldgo after drug dealers themselves.

　　In a speech, he said people with guns should shoot and kill drug dealers who refuse to betaken to a police station. The same is true, he said, if drug dealers threaten people with a gunor a knife.

　　"Please feel free to call us, the police, or do it yourself if you have a gun ... you have mysupport," Duterte said. "Shoot him, and I'll give you a medal."

　　His speech was reported on by the Associated Press.

　　Duterte won the May 9 presidential election on a promise to end crime and corruption withinsix months of taking office.

　　But his tough talk during and immediately after the presidential election has alarmed some.Human rights groups said that citizens could use the president's words to kill people they don'tlike by saying they were drug dealers.

　　Rafendi Djamin is Amnesty International's Director for South East Asia and the Pacific. "Asleader of the Philippines, the president-elect must protect and uphold human rights, not rejectthem," he said. "That includes the right to life, due process and fair trial."

　　As the longtime mayor of Davao City, Duterte put in tough penalties for crime. But HumanRights Watch said he went too far, using death squads to kill more than 1,000 people.
