Elden Chamberlain, 60, who is being held on drug charges he denies, will take on the country’s main drug enforcement agency in his defence
An internationally respected British public health consultant, who has been in Philippines jails for more than two years on what he says are fabricated drugs charges, is taking on the country’s main drug enforcement agency, making allegations of fabricated evidence, theft and corruption.
Sixty-year-old Elden Chamberlain was Thursday due to open his defence case in the regional trial court in the city of Cagayan de Oro in a case that has the potential to highlight previous allegations against the Philippines Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) in the wake of the country’s notorious “war on drugs”.
