The Philippines added a UN human rights worker to the country's 'terror hit list'
The Duterte administration has created a 600-person terror watchlist that includes a top UN human rights investigator.
The Philippines' Department of Justice filed the list in a Manila court last month seeking approval for calling the individuals terrorists, according to Reuters. Once declared a terrorist, the government can surveil and monitor funds more closely.
The list included UN Special Rapporteur Victoria Tauli-Corpuz, a Philippine investigator who specializes in the rights of indigenous peoples, alongside leaders from the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) and its armed wing, the New Peoples Army (NPA).
Tauli-Corpuz was listed as a senior member of the NPA, and told Reuters the accusation was baseless, malicious and irresponsible.
