An extrajudicial killing (also known as extrajudicial execution) is the killing of a person by governmental authorities without the sanction of any judicial proceeding or legal process. Extrajudicial punishments are mostly seen by humanity to be unethical, since they bypass the due process of the legal jurisdiction in which they occur.[citation needed] Extrajudicial killings often target leading political, trade union, dissident, religious, and social figures and are only those carried out by the state government or other state authorities like the armed forces or police, as extra-legal fulfillment of their prescribed role.

It is a deliberate killing not authorized by a previous judgement pronounced by a regular constituted court affording all the judicial guarantees which are recognized as indispensable by civilized peoples. Such term, however, does not include any such killing that, under international law, is lawfully carried out under the authority of a foreign nation.

So, We, as a students, we make a public stand against the butchery involving the extrajudicial killing of suspected drug criminals.

 Since our newly elected President Rodrigo Duterte won the elections in May during which he made an electoral promise that 100,000 would die in his war on drugs, more than 300 suspected drug pushers have so far been reported killed by police and death squads.

 As a students who cares about the laws and most especially to our fellowmen we assert that extrajudicial killings have no place in a democracy like ours that is founded on the rule of law and not of men. Extrajudicial killings have no spot in a democracy that constitutionally guarantees against the deprivation of life, liberty or property without due process of law, and the presumption of innocence. Extrajudicial killings have no spot in a democracy that gives to the courts the sole power to adjudge guilt and mete out punishment. Extrajudicial killings have no spot in a democracy founded on the principle of legality that requires that the government act only according to law.

 As a students against extrajudicial killings and for the rule of law, we support those group who protested about EJK. We also need the help of everyone who is concerned in the society to take a public stand for the rule of law and against extrajudicial killings. Now, what a big realization for us. Our country for us, is a zone of crime so that, The butchery must stop. The extrajudicial killings must stop!
