Duterte's lawyers petition for his return to Manila

Lawyers for former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte filed a petition with the Supreme Court on Wednesday, seeking to return him to Manila. Duterte was arrested under an International Criminal Court warrant related to his controversial drug crackdown. Duterte faces charges of crimes against humanity for alleged murders during his presidency. His daughter, Veronica, claims the government is "kidnapping" him and demands his return. The Philippines withdrew from the ICC in 2019, but the court maintains jurisdiction over events before that. The current government has shifted from non-cooperation to stating it will comply with Interpol requests.
