Sloppy reporting on #JusticeForKian circus by @Telegraph gets all the facts wrong! 😱



The Telegraph "report" authored by Nicola Smith screamed how a "horrifying image of a schoolboy being dragged to a violent death in a dirty alleyway has galvanised the Philippines against a brutal state-led war on drugs that has killed over 12,500 people in the last year."

The reports is false on two counts: (1) there is no "nationwide revolt" going on in the Philippines at present and (2) there is no verified evidence that 12,500 people had so far been killed in the "war on drugs".
