Former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has been arrested on an International Criminal Court warrant for crimes against humanity. He was taken into custody at Manila Airport on returning from Hong Kong.
The ICC has been investigating the mass killings that happened during Duterte’s crackdown against illegal drugs.
Duterte insists he was not responsible for any unlawful deaths during his eight-year presidency, which began in 2016. But ICC prosecutors estimate the death toll at between 12,00 and 30,000.
