Duterte arrested for crimes against humanity in Philippines

Former Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte has been arrested on charges of crimes against humanity. This marks a significant development in the ongoing scrutiny of his administration's controversial anti-drug campaign, which has faced widespread criticism for alleged human rights violations. Duterte's arrest follows years of investigations into his policies that reportedly led to thousands of extrajudicial killings. The legal actions against him reflect growing accountability for leaders accused of severe human rights abuses. This situation contrasts with previous years when Duterte maintained strong support domestically and internationally, despite the allegations. His arrest signals a shift in the political landscape regarding accountability for human rights violations in the Philippines.
