Former President Rodrigo Duterte arrested in the Philippines on an ICC warrant over drug killings

Former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has been arrested in connection with an International Criminal Court case alleging crimes against humanity were committed during his anti-drug crackdowns. Duterte was arrested Tuesday at the Manila airport and police took him into custody on orders of the ICC, President Ferdinand Marcos’ office said in a statement. It was not clear where Duterte was taken. The government said the 79-year-old former leader was in good health and was in authorities' custody. The surprise arrest sparked a commotion at the airport, where lawyers and aides of Duterte loudly protested that they, along with a doctor and lawyers, were prevented from coming close to him after he was taken into police custody.
