Tahasang inihayag ni human rights lawyer at assistant to counsel sa International Criminal Court (ICC) Atty. Kristina Conti na nakakainsulto umano ang mga naging komento ni Senate President (SP) Alan Peter Cayetano kaugnay sa war on drugs ni dating Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte.
Ayon kasi kay Cayetano, “pro-life campaign” umano ang drug war ni FPRRD noong nakaraang administrasyon.
“Ang campaign against drugs is a human rights campaign—it’s a pro-life campaign dahil pumapatay ang drugs…at kung titingnan n’yo ang statistics, grabe talaga,” saad ni Cayetano sa kaniyang Facebook live noong Sabado, Mayo 23.

Komento naman ni Atty. Conti, “downright discomforting” at “breathtaking stupid” daw ang mga pahayag ng senate president.
“Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano insults the kin of the dead, the jailed, and the persecuted in defending the ‘war on drugs’ during an era of reckoning not only by Filipinos, but by all of humanity,” saad ni Atty. Conti sa kaniyang X post nitong Linggo, Mayo 24.
Giit niya, “His insensitivity, his brazen disinformation about the ICC and the case against Duterte, and his absolute pandering to the Duterte family is downright discomforting as well as breathtakingly stupid.”
Aniya pa, may negatibo umanong epekto ang mga kilos at pahayag ni Cayetano kina FPRRD at Sen. Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa, na kapuwa humaharap sa kasong crimes against humanity sa ICC.
“His actions and words will impact both Du30 and Bato negatively before the ICC, and most likely, cement his own role in the ‘war on drugs’ as the ICC investigation continues,” aniya.
“We remember everything,” pagtatapos ni Conti.
