Duterte arrested for crimes against humanity in Philippines

Former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte was arrested at Manila airport on Tuesday under an International Criminal Court (ICC) warrant. He faces accusations of crimes against humanity linked to his anti-drug campaign, which resulted in an estimated 30,000 deaths. Duterte, who is turning 80 this month, had previously denied wrongdoing and maintained his actions were for the country's benefit. His arrest marks a significant shift, as he had remained popular despite international criticism of his policies. The ICC's investigation covers alleged crimes from 2011 to 2019, including extrajudicial killings. Human rights groups view his arrest as a breakthrough for victims' families, while the current Philippine government has indicated it may cooperate with the ICC.
