UN Calls for Psychiatric Evaluation After Duterte Puts Top Human Rights Expert on 'Hit List': Tauli-Corpuz was included on the list after she reported on the displacement and killings of the Philippines' indigenous Lumad people at the hands of Duterte's armed forces, allegedly due to "unfounded suspicions that Lumads are involved with militant groups or in view of their resistance to mining activities on their ancestral lands."

After Duterte's terrorist list was released, Tauli-Corpuz slammed the Filipino leader for putting her life and the lives of others—including environmental campaigners and left-wing activists—at risk, calling the accusations of terrorism "baseless, malicious, and irresponsible."

Duterte has been accused of multiple human rights violations, overseeing a brutal "war on drugs" in which at least 12,000 Filipinos have been killed, including thousands at the hands of the Philippine National Police. Last summer, he also called on the police to shoot human rights activists for "obstructing justice."
