MANILA, Philippines -- The human rights situation in the country is worse now than during martial law because even children are not spared from extrajudicial killings, a women's party-list group and a children's advocacy group have claimed.

According to the Salinlahi Alliance for Children's Concerns, 60 or seven percent of the 888 victims of extrajudicial killings recorded by the human rights group Karapatan (Alliance for the Advancement of People’s Rights) from 2001 to 2007 were children.
