Thousands of people protested on Saturday against Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte's deadly war on drugs after the arrest of his most high-profile critic.

The military-backed dictatorship of Ferdinand Marcos was toppled in a bloodless "People Power" revolution 31 years ago to the day. Protester Ilagan, a playwright who suffered horrific torture over two years in a police prison under Marcos' martial rule in the 1970s, cited to AFP the "culture of impunity" engendered by Duterte's anti-drug crackdown. The group warned that Duterte's authoritarian rule could return the country to a dictatorship, demanding an end to the extrajudicial killings that have claimed more than 7,700 lives in the past seven months.
