Duterte arrested in Manila for crimes against humanity
Rodrigo Duterte, the former president of the Philippines, was arrested in Manila on Tuesday. This follows a warrant from the International Criminal Court, which accuses him of crimes against humanity related to his controversial war on drugs. Duterte was detained at the airport after returning from Hong Kong. His lawyer claims the arrest is unlawful, citing the Philippines' withdrawal from the court during Duterte's presidency. The arrest marks a significant development for those seeking justice for victims of Duterte's drug campaign, which has been linked to thousands of extrajudicial killings, primarily affecting poor urban communities.
