Duterte forcibly taken to The Hague due to ICC warrant

Former Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte was forcibly taken onto a plane bound for The Hague on Tuesday due to an arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court (ICC). His daughter confirmed the incident, expressing concern for his health. Duterte faces charges related to his controversial "war on drugs," which reportedly resulted in thousands of deaths. His forced removal has sparked protests among his supporters in the Philippines. Duterte had previously withdrawn the Philippines from the ICC in 2019, but the court maintains jurisdiction over crimes committed during his presidency. This development marks a significant shift in his perceived immunity from prosecution.
