Duterte arrested in The Hague for crimes against humanity

Former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has been arrested by Interpol and is now in The Hague, facing charges of crimes against humanity. This marks a significant shift from his previous position as a popular leader known for his controversial anti-drug campaign. Duterte's presidency, which began in 2016, was marked by widespread killings linked to his war on drugs. Many supporters initially praised his tough stance, but the violence and human rights abuses led to growing disillusionment among former supporters. The arrest comes after years of criticism over Duterte's policies and actions, including his admission of ordering killings. The situation highlights a dramatic change in his status from a powerful leader to a defendant facing international legal scrutiny.
