Former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte was arrested in Manila today for crimes against humanity on an International Criminal Court warrant. The ICC has been investigating Duterte since 2018 over his extrajudicial so-called war on drugs. The U.N. estimates over 8,600 people were killed during Duterte’s rule, with some estimates suggesting the true toll could be three times higher. Last year, Duterte admitted under oath that he oversaw a “death squad” of gangsters while he served as mayor of the southern city of Davao.

Rodrigo Duterte: “I have a death squad. A death squad. Seven of them. But they are [not] the police. They were gangsters. I command one of the gangsters, 'Kill that, because if you don't, I will kill you.’”

Rodrigo Duterte’s daughter, Sara Duterte, is currently serving as vice president of the Philippines. She is the first vice president of the Philippines to be impeached.
