EU team in Manila to help curb human rights abuses
Afp, Manila
A European Union delegation has met Philippine officials to help Manila address human rights abuses, including political murders blamed on the security forces, a presidential aide said yesterday. "The mission is here to assess the needs of the Philippine government, to see how the EU might be able to extend technical assistance," Eduardo Ermita, President Gloria Arroyo's chief aide, told reporters. The delegation arrived in Manila on Monday to meet with the military and the police, which have been accused by independent investigators of extra-judicial killings.
