Duterte's 12-hour standoff followed ICC arrest in Manila

Former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte engaged in a 12-hour standoff with police after his arrest under an International Criminal Court order. He refused to have his fingerprints taken and threatened legal action against police officials. Duterte was arrested upon returning to Manila from Hong Kong and was escorted to a government jet for transport to The Hague. He faces charges of crimes against humanity related to his anti-drug campaign. This marks the first time an Asian former head of state will stand trial at the ICC. Duterte's administration is linked to thousands of deaths during his presidency from 2016 to 2022.
