This week on Century of Lies: Human Rights and the Drug War.

In the Philippines, former Senator Leila de Lima was imprisoned for nearly seven years by the Duterte regime, framed for crimes she didn’t commit because she spoke out against human rights abuses and extrajudicial killings there. She spoke recently on Ending Extrajudicial Drug War Killings and Extending Transitional Justice for Victims. Plus, we hear from Angela McBride, Executive Managing Director of the South African Network of People who Use Drugs and Palani Narayanan, Director of the Drug Policy Program at the Malaysian AIDS Foundation, on addressing human rights challenges related to the lack of, and the unequal access to, treatment and harm reduction.
