Ex-Philippines President Duterte Arrested on ICC Warrant

Former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte was arrested at Manila's international airport on order of the ICC in connection with a crimes against humanity case filed against him. Duterte was arrested after arriving from Hong Kong and police took him into custody on orders of the ICC, which has been investigating the mass killings that happened under the former president's deadly crackdown against illegal drugs. In Dec 2018, the country's Commission on Human Rights (CHR) estimated the number of drug-war killings could be as high as 27,000. ICC link: www.icc-cpi.int

All three of these ICC defendants have blood on their hands.

Indictments are merely allegations. All defendants are considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
