Former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte was arrested at Manila airport in connection with alleged crimes against humanity during his controversial drug war. His daughter, Vice President Sara Duterte, criticized the arrest as oppression and an affront to national sovereignty. Duterte is being transferred to the International Criminal Court in The Hague, where he may become the first former Asian head of state to go on trial. As he faces this legal battle, members of his family and legal team are mobilizing to support him and challenge the arrest.
Sara Duterte described her father's arrest as 'oppression', emphasizing that the forced extradition to The Hague disrespects Philippine sovereignty and undermines national independence.
Rodrigo Duterte's arrest signals a landmark moment, as he could become the first Asian former head of state to face trial at the ICC for alleged crimes against humanity.
