inquirer.net

Former senator Leila de Lima stated that former president Rodrigo Duterte must now face legal consequences for his actions during his drug war. This follows an arrest order from the International Criminal Court for alleged crimes against humanity. De Lima, who spent years in prison on charges she claims were fabricated, emphasized that justice is about accountability for those in power. She noted that Duterte's situation is a response to the victims and their families. Duterte was recently detained by police to comply with an Interpol red notice. His administration's drug war has faced criticism for numerous extrajudicial killings, with ongoing investigations into these actions.
