Former Filipino President Rodrigo Duterte was arrested in his home country on Tuesday. Due to his “war against drugs”, crimes are accused against humanity.
After his arrival from Hong Kong at the international airport in the capital Manila, the 79-year-old was arrested by the Filipino police because there was a detention order of the International Criminal Court against him. A video shown on television would show the moment of arrest in a plane. It is supposed to hear Duterte how he follows the police: “You will have to kill me.” A second video seems to show him with a walking stick at the airport in police guidance.
Duterte was up to the power from 2016 to 2022 and is still controversial because of his brutal war against drug criminals. So he had encouraged criminal researchers to shoot suspects better than bring himself to life. When the World Criminal Court started research against him in 2018, he announced the resignation of his country of the ICC.
6200 people died in the “war against drugs”
His successor, dictator son Ferdinand Marcos Jr., apparently still works with the court in The Hague. This claims that the Duterte -crimes were too bothered before the land leaked from the Istgh statute and was therefore responsible. According to the police, 6200 people died in anti-drugs.
