'Systematic campaign of killing' in the Philippines

When the new President of the Philippines, Rodrigo Duterte, came to office earlier this year, he pledged to rid the country of its drug addicts. Since then the police have killed more than 2 000 people and Human Rights Watch's says there have been other 4 000 extra-judicial killings. Photojournalist Daniel Berehulak has just spent 35 days in the capital Manila where he photographed 41 murder scenes and 57 bodies.
