Duterte arrested in Manila for drug killings

Former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte was arrested at Manila's airport on Tuesday under an International Criminal Court warrant related to alleged crimes against humanity during his drug crackdown. This marks a significant development in the ongoing investigation into his administration's actions. Duterte was taken into custody after arriving from Hong Kong, with police acting on the ICC's orders. His lawyers protested the arrest, claiming it violated his rights. The government confirmed he is in good health. The ICC's investigation into Duterte's drug killings began in 2011 and resumed after appeals judges rejected the Philippines' objections. The current administration, led by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., has opted not to rejoin the ICC but will cooperate with its requests.
