(CNN)Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte ordered police officers in his country not to cooperate with United Nations human rights investigators and offered a crass warning to those conducting the probe.
“You’re investigating us? Fact finding? Sorry, do not f*** with me,” Duterte said Thursday, at an event before police officers and members of the military in his hometown of Davao City.
“Who are you to interfere in the way I would run my country? You know very well that we are being swallowed by drugs.”
