MANILA The Philippines has denounced what it called interference in its internal affairs by the European Parliament, which urged the Southeast Asian country to end"extrajudicial killings" and halt plans to bring back the death penalty. The European lawmakers, in a resolution on Thursday, condemned Philippine authorities for"trying to justify these murders with falsified evidence", which Manila said was meddling and based on wrong information."The European Parliament has crossed a red line when it called for unwarranted actions against the Philippines," Foreign Secretary Alan Peter Cayetano said in a statement late on Thursday.
