Duterte arrested under Interpol warrant for drug war

Rodrigo Duterte, former president of the Philippines, was arrested on Tuesday under an Interpol warrant related to his controversial "war on drugs." The International Criminal Court is investigating him for alleged crimes against humanity during his presidency from 2016 to 2022. Duterte's anti-drug campaign resulted in thousands of civilian deaths, with estimates ranging from 12,000 to 30,000. Many victims were poor men shot in the streets, often by police or unidentified assailants. Despite international criticism, Duterte maintained a defiant attitude. Upon his arrest, he questioned the legality of the warrant and the accusations against him.
