 A local government in the Phillipines is accused by human rights groups of using death squads to kill suspected criminals.

The vigilantes have the support of some in the local community, who say the campaign is making their streets safer.

Al Jazeera’s Marga Ortigas travelled to the city of Davao and spoke to the mayor who is said to be sanctioning the killings.
