Duterte arrested in Manila for drug war killings

Former Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte has been arrested in Manila under an International Criminal Court warrant. The warrant is related to alleged crimes against humanity during his controversial drug war, which resulted in thousands of deaths. Duterte, 79, was detained upon returning from Hong Kong. The arrest follows a preliminary ICC investigation into extrajudicial killings linked to his anti-drug campaign that began in 2016. The Philippine government reported over 6,200 deaths, while human rights groups estimate the toll could be much higher. The current administration, led by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., has expressed willingness to cooperate with the ICC.
