Duterte arrested in Manila, refuses fingerprinting, threatens police

Former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte was arrested in Manila after an International Criminal Court warrant was issued. During a 12-hour standoff, he refused fingerprinting and threatened police, saying, “you have to kill me to bring me to The Hague.” Duterte's arrest followed his arrival from Hong Kong with family and friends. Police faced resistance from his supporters, leading to a tense situation before he was eventually taken to a plane bound for The Hague. Duterte's legal team claims his constitutional rights were violated, as authorities did not present the ICC warrant. Vice President Sara Duterte criticized the government's actions, calling it an affront to Philippine sovereignty.
