Duterte arrested in Manila on ICC warrant charges

Former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte was arrested at Manila's airport on an International Criminal Court (ICC) warrant. He faces charges of crimes against humanity related to his anti-drug campaign, which allegedly involved mass killings. Duterte, 79, was taken into custody after returning from Hong Kong. The ICC has accused him of murder linked to a crackdown that rights groups say resulted in tens of thousands of deaths. The Philippine government confirmed the arrest, stating that Duterte and his group are in good health. The ICC had previously launched an inquiry into the drug operations but suspended it in late 2021.
