CONTRASTING STATEMENTS from Philippine Government Regarding the Truth of Duterte's Arrest

According to the latest report, the dramatic arrest and swift transfer of former Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte to the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague has been slammed by his allies as an illegal abduction even though legal experts argue an obscure Philippine law provides cover for Manila to bypass extradition norms. Duterte was arrested on March 11 by Philippine police and Interpol agents before he was transferred to The Hague to face charges of crimes against humanity related to his bloody war on drugs during his time in office. The Philippine government’s decision to carry out the extradition at the ICC’s request has triggered a firestorm of outrage from his allies and supporters. Salvador Medialdea, Duterte’s lawyer, protested during a pre-trial hearing to Iulia Motoc, the ICC’s presiding judge, that the former president’s transfer to The Hague was an act of “extrajudicial rendition”.“For less legal minds, it’s pure and simple kidnapping,” he added.

The Marcos administration must answer this allegation by the people and other members in congress and senate about the conspiracy of Marcos with the ICC when in fact , the Philippines already withdrew its membership to ICC.
