Philippine Senate detains official for Duterte's ICC handover

The Philippine Senate has detained Special Envoy Markus Lacanilao for contempt after he facilitated the handover of former President Duterte to the International Criminal Court. He will be held for a maximum of two days. Lacanilao was cited for contempt due to evasive answers during a Senate hearing regarding Duterte's arrest and transfer. He filled out the ICC's turnover form, answering "do not know" about Duterte's appearance before a national judicial authority. The Senate's action stems from an investigation into the circumstances surrounding Duterte's surrender to the ICC, which has raised legal questions about the process. Lacanilao's role in the handover has drawn scrutiny from senators.
