Duterte arrested in Manila under ICC warrant

Former Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte was arrested on March 11 after arriving at Manila's international airport. This followed an International Criminal Court (ICC) warrant related to his controversial war on drugs. The presidential palace confirmed that Interpol Manila received the official arrest warrant early in the morning. Duterte is currently in police custody and reported to be in good health. Duterte had recently been in Hong Kong, where he stated he was prepared for arrest if the ICC issued a warrant. His visit raised speculation about potential attempts to avoid arrest.
