Duterte's arrest advances justice for EJK victims

Former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has been arrested by the Philippine National Police. This follows an Interpol red notice related to his alleged role in extrajudicial killings during his administration's drug war. Progressive groups, including Bayan Muna, view the arrest as a crucial step toward justice for victims of these killings. They emphasize that accountability for human rights violations remains a priority, as many of Duterte's associates are still unaccounted for. Duterte's arrest comes amid ongoing investigations into his administration's actions. Critics have highlighted the violent nature of the drug war, which resulted in thousands of deaths, including innocent individuals.
