Duterte arrested over alleged crimes against humanity

Former Philippines president Rodrigo Duterte was arrested at Manila's airport after returning from Hong Kong. The International Criminal Court issued a warrant for his arrest over alleged crimes against humanity linked to his anti-drug campaign. Duterte's arrest follows an ICC investigation into mass killings during his presidency from 2016 to 2022. His administration faced accusations of over 6,000 deaths in anti-drug operations, with activists claiming the actual number is higher. Duterte's legal team argues the ICC lacks jurisdiction, as he withdrew the Philippines from the Rome Statute in 2019. In a video from custody, Duterte questioned the legality of his arrest and the charges against him.
