Rodrigo Duterte, the former Philippine president who has been accused of crimes against humanity and the extrajudicial killings of thousands of people during his “war on drugs,” was arrested Tuesday in Manila under a warrant issued by the International Criminal Court, the government reported.
Duterte is on the way to The Hague, where the ICC is headquartered, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said in a late-night news briefing.
Duterte, 79, was detained by Philippine police shortly after flying into the country from Hong Kong at about 9:20 a.m. Video showed him walking with a cane and accompanied by officials inside Manila's Ninoy Aquino International Airport.
