Duterte arrested for alleged crimes against humanity

Former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte was arrested on Tuesday following an order from the International Criminal Court (ICC) for alleged crimes against humanity. This marks a significant development in the ongoing scrutiny of his administration's controversial drug war. Opposition Senator Risa Hontiveros welcomed the arrest, stating it is a long-awaited moment for families of victims. She emphasized the need for accountability beyond Duterte, calling for justice for all responsible for the killings. Duterte returned to Manila from Hong Kong, where he was served the ICC arrest warrant. The Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency reported 6,252 deaths linked to anti-drug operations during his presidency, while other reports suggest the number may exceed 20,000.
