A Filipino priest's fight for justice for victims of Duterte's drug war
Former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte's 'war on drugs' killed thousands of people.
For years, Catholic priest Flaviano Villanueva has gathered evidence of alleged extrajudicial killings.
He exhumed victims' bodies for forensic examination and protected a key witness who claims he worked as a contract killer for Duterte.
In March 2025, the priest's persistence paid off when Duterte was arrested and extradited to The Hague to face charges of crimes against humanity before the International Criminal Court.

Ex-Mali PM charged over X post supporting jailed critics of military rulers
A former prime minister of Mali has been charged with 'undermining the credibility of the state' following a social media post about his visits to political prisoners, according to a prosecutor. Moussa Mara held the post of prime minister for a brief eight months from 2014 until 2015. He was previously summoned for questioning following a July 4 post on X in which he spoke of visiting the prisoners and promising to ensure them justice. 'As long as the night lasts, the sun will obviously appear!' he wrote and added, 'We will fight by all means for this to happen as soon as possible!' Mara remains in jail with a trial scheduled for September 29. His lawyers condemned the proceedings in a statement on Friday. Mara's arrest is the latest in a crackdown on dissent by Mali's military rulers following the country's first pro-democracy rally since soldiers seized power nearly four years ago. Abdoulaye Yaro, a close associate of the former prime minister, told The Associated Press news agency that Mara was arrested after a cybercrime prosecutor ordered his detention pending trial for expressing compassion for people jailed for political beliefs. His lawyer, Mountaga Tall, said on X that the former prime minister faces charges including undermining state authority, inciting public disorder, and spreading false information. Mara's legal team is contesting the charges and detention, Tall said. Since orchestrating two coups in 2020 and 2021, General Assimi Goita has led Mali. In June, he was granted an additional five years in power, despite the military government's earlier promises of a return to civilian rule by March 2024. The move followed the military's dissolution of political parties in May. Mali, a landlocked nation in Africa's semi-arid Sahel region on the southern fringe of the Sahara desert, has been embroiled in political instability that swept across West and Central Africa over the last decade.

Indonesian president frees hundreds of prisoners as part of unity plan
Indonesia has begun releasing hundreds of inmates from prison, including people convicted of political offences, after parliament approved the first stage of President Prabowo Subianto's wide-ranging clemency plan, reportedly aimed at building national solidarity. A first group of 1,178 inmates were to be released on Friday after House of Representatives Deputy Speaker Sufmi Dasco Ahmad and Law Minister Supratman Andi Agtas announced late on Thursday that Subianto had signed a Presidential Decree granting amnesties. Barely two months after he took office in October, Subianto – the former son-in-law of Indonesian dictator Soeharto – surprised the nation by saying he planned to grant clemency to some 44,000 inmates nationwide, most of them imprisoned for political reasons, as a way to help unify the country. Law Minister Agtas said political prisoners and inmates with mental and chronic health illnesses, older people, juveniles and those convicted of blasphemy or insulting the country's leader will be prioritised in the pardons. Among those released on Friday were prominent rivals of former President Joko Widodo who were jailed during his term, including Hasto Kristiyanto, the secretary-general of the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle, the country's only formal opposition party. A former ally of ex-President Widodo who later became a harsh critic, Kristiyanto was sentenced last week to three and a half years in prison for bribery in a 2019 legislative seat appointment scheme. Released on Friday evening from his cell at the anti-Corruption Commission's detention centre in South Jakarta, where he had been held since February, Kristiyanto told a cheering crowd, 'We must learn from this incident.' Agtas said parliament also approved an end to criminal proceedings against former Trade Minister Tom Lembong, also a onetime Widodo ally who broke with him during the 2024 presidential election to support political rival Anies Baswedan. Lembong was sentenced to more than four years in prison in July for reportedly abusing his authority as minister by improperly granting sugar import permits. 'Both [Kristiyanto and Lembong] have demonstrated service to the nation, and our priority now is to strengthen the unity of the nation,' Agtas said. Six independence activists from Indonesia's restive West Papua region, serving prison sentences for treason, were also released. Agtas said authorities plan to submit a second list of 1,668 inmates for release to parliament in the near future.

Another US citizen killed by Israeli settler attack in West Bank: Family
The family of a United States citizen who was killed in a settler attack in the occupied West Bank is calling on the administration of President Donald Trump to open its own investigation into the incident. Relatives of Khamis Ayyad, 40, who died in the town of Silwad, north of Ramallah, on Thursday, confirmed on Friday that he was an American citizen and called for justice in the case. Ayyad — a father of five and a former Chicago resident — was the second US citizen to be killed in the West Bank in July. Earlier that month, Israeli settlers beat 20-year-old Sayfollah Musallet to death in Sinjil, a town that neighbours Silwad. Standing alongside Ayyad's relatives, William Asfour, the operations coordinator for the Chicago chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), described the killing as 'murder'. 'We demand a full investigation from the Department of Justice,' Asfour said. 'An American citizen was killed. Where's the accountability?' According to Mahmoud Issa, the slain 40-year-old's cousin, settlers torched cars outside Ayyad's home around dawn on Thursday. Ayyad woke up to put out the fire, but then the Israeli army showed up at the scene and started firing tear gas in his direction. The family believes that Ayyad died from inhaling tear gas and smoke from the burning vehicles. 'How many more?' Settler attacks against Palestinian communities in the West Bank, which US officials have described as 'terrorism', have been escalating for months, particularly since Israel launched its war on Gaza in October 2023. The Israeli residents of illegal settlements have descended on Palestinian communities, ransacked neighbourhoods and set cars and homes ablaze. The settlers, protected by the Israeli military, are often armed and fire at will against Palestinians who try to stop them. The Israeli military has also been intensifying its deadly raids, home demolitions and displacement campaigns in the West Bank. Just this past month, Israel's parliament, the Knesset, approved a non-binding motion to annex the West Bank. And on Thursday, two top Israeli ministers, Yariv Levin and Israel Katz, called the present circumstances 'a moment of opportunity' to assert 'Israeli sovereignty' over the area. Meanwhile, Israel continues to carry out a brutal assault in Gaza, which rights groups have said amounts to a genocide. CAIR-Chicago's Asfour stressed on Friday that Ayyad's killing is not an isolated incident. 'Another American was killed in the West Bank just weeks ago,' he said, referring to Musallet. 'How many more before the US takes action to protect its citizens abroad? Settlers burn homes, soldiers back them up, and our government sends billions to fund all of this.' The US Department of State did not respond to Al Jazeera's request for comment by the time of publication. No arrests in Musallet's case Last month, Musallet's family also urged a US investigation into his killing. But Washington has resisted calls to probe Israel's abuses against American citizens, arguing that Israeli authorities are best equipped to investigate their own military forces and settlers. Mike Huckabee, US ambassador to Israel, called on Israel to 'aggressively investigate the murder' of Musallet in July. 'There must be accountability for this criminal and terrorist act,' he wrote in a social media post. But more than 21 days after the incident, there has been no arrest in the case. Since 2022, Israeli soldiers and settlers have killed at least 10 US citizens. None of the cases have resulted in criminal charges. Ayyad was killed as Israeli forces continue to detain US teenager Mohammed Ibrahim without trial or access to his family. Mohammed, 16, has been jailed since February, and his family says it has received reports that he is drastically losing weight and suffering from a skin infection. On Friday, Illinois State Representative Abdelnasser Rashid called Ayyad's death part of an 'ugly pattern of settler colonial violence' in Palestine. He called for repealing an Illinois state law that penalises boycotts of Israeli firms. 'We need action. Here in Illinois, we have a law that punishes companies that choose to do the right thing by boycotting Israel,' Rashid told reporters. 'This shameful state law helps shield Israel's violence and brutality from consequences.'
