SC to hold special raffle for Duterte's petition

inquirer.net

The Supreme Court of the Philippines will hold a special raffle for a petition from former President Rodrigo Duterte and Senator Bato Dela Rosa. The petition seeks to stop the government from cooperating with the International Criminal Court (ICC). This announcement came shortly after the petition was filed on the same day that Duterte was arrested upon returning to Manila. He is currently in police custody at Villamor Airbase. The special raffle is a procedure for significant cases, allowing the Court to prioritize urgent matters. The petition requests a temporary restraining order against cooperation with the ICC regarding investigations into the government's anti-drug campaign.
