MANILA, PHILIPPINES - AUGUST 20: Arrested and surrendered drug dependents and small time peddlers are held in a police gymnasium during a night time mass arrest on August 20, 2016 in Manila, Philippines. Around 900,000 were arrested or have surrendered to police authorities in saturation drives around the metro. The death toll from the Philippines' war on drugs initiated by President Rodrigo Duterte has spiked to nearly 1,800 since he took office in June, a figure much higher than the 900 deaths previously cited by officials. International human rights advocates have condemned the killings as out of control and are calling on the government to end the nightly drug raids and investigate extrajudicial killings, although the president has lashed out at critics and threatened to withdraw from the United Nations. According to reports, investigations are still ongoing for 1,067 drug-related killings, reportedly carried out by vigilantes but it was unclear how many were directly related to the illegal drug trade.
