Philippines braces for potential Duterte arrest over drug war
The Philippines is preparing for the potential arrest of former President Rodrigo Duterte over his controversial "war on drugs." Reports suggest the International Criminal Court may issue an arrest warrant, although the Philippine government has not yet received official confirmation. Duterte, who is returning from Hong Kong, stated he is ready for arrest if a warrant is issued. His administration's drug policy has faced accusations of widespread killings, which Duterte has denied. The current government under President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has indicated it may comply with an arrest request from Interpol. Law enforcement officials are prepared to act if necessary.
