Philippines Ex-President Duterte Taken to ICC Amid Controversy
Former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte was arrested upon his return to Manila and is set to be sent to The Hague following an arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court (ICC) for alleged crimes against humanity related to his controversial 'war on drugs.' Vice President Sara Duterte criticized the government's actions, describing them as a 'blatant affront' to national sovereignty and an insult to Filipinos, arguing that her father was denied his fundamental rights. She characterized the situation as 'oppression and persecution,' expressing concern over the implications for Filipino sovereignty and dignity. The arrest has been welcomed by families of victims of extrajudicial killings, who see it as a crucial step towards justice. Rights groups estimate that Duterte's drug campaign resulted in approximately 30,000 deaths, although official counts report around 6,000. The Vice President's statements reflect a significant division in public sentiment regarding her father's legacy and the current government's actions.
