Who is Rodrigo Duterte? Populist architect of Philippines’ bloody ‘war on drugs’ | Rodrigo Duterte

As president of the Philippines, Rodrigo Dorties were notorious for their pride.

Cowboys bravely, he proud of the past when he searched the suspected criminals to roam his motorcycle, or knocked someone at the age of 16. In 2016, he mocked the Australian missionary before being murdered in 1989.

A few months after the Philippine president was elected in 2016, he made a shining and false reference about the Holocaust that he resembles for his “fight against drugs”. He wrongly said, “Hitler massacred three million Jews,” he said, “Nazis killed six million Jews. “Now, there are three million drug addicts. I will be happy to slaughter them.

A populist who enjoys Hyperbul, condemns women and attacked the press, was arrested on Tuesday for allegedly killing a bloody “war against drugs”, killing thousands of Philippines.

The government said that a warrant for Interpol arrest from the International Criminal Court was presented on Tuesday when he arrived at Manila’s main airport. The ICC said it was investigating suspicious crimes against humanity in the role of Dortia in the drug war.

From Daov Death Squad to ‘Drug Fighting’

A former prosecutor and a long -time mayor, a city in Daoo, a city in the island of Mandanao, Davorta presided over the promise of elimination of drugs and crime in 2016, promising a crackdown that would kill 100,000 people and slaughtered them.

According to data given by the ICC, during his presidency from 2016 to 2022, citizens of 12,000 and 30,000 have been killed in connection with anti -drug operations. Most of the victims were poor, civilian men, were shot dead on the streets by police officers or unknown assailants.

The 79 -year -old was born in the city of Masin, named “The Panishir”. As a child, he was expelled from school and at the age of 15, the gun was allegedly picked up.

“He was expelled from some schools, and even shot a classmate, but he was never punished for anything. He escaped,” the Philippine Senator Antonio Trailence, one of the most severe critics of the Dort, told The Guardian. “So I am sure that he participated in the mentality of his immunity, because he was never punished. He killed people, but it just went.

Davorta proceeded to study law and become a prosecutor, eventually going to the deputy mayor and then Dao’s mayor.

“I am sure that he created only one real crisis when his father died and political power and wealth were gone. He could not stand because of being a regular man. So he was forced to eat pie and work on his way,” says Trails. “Since then, the boy who made a life of power and wealth did not want to experience life without him. So since then, he did not let go.”

In the 1980s, Daoo was in Daoo that Davorts would first try to crack their crackdown on drugs and crimes, which saw that the bodies were regularly replaced on the streets. Human Rights Watch has long been charged with “Daewa Death Squads” while Davorte was Mayor, claiming that more than a thousand people have been killed, including suspected drug users and dealers, street children as well as journalists.

Even the Duttas appeared to be more openly confessing more and more. “Are I the Death Squad? True. This is true,” he told local television in May 2015.

During his presidency, such comments overcome the loss of Dorti’s assistants in a rage because he suggested that the comments should not be literally taken or was a joke.

Davorta denied the order of the murder of the suspects, saying it had directed the police to kill only in their defense. But the reality of the so -called drug war on the streets was unforgettable. Serious scenes of the casualties have flooded the local and international presses, including images hitting people in the street at midnight, wrapped in their head -packing tapes, often charged with cardboard indicators that they are drug dealers, users or culprits.

Even when the Dawort war gave rise to great international condemnation, the President remained unpleasant.

Sometimes with a walking stick it is seen that the breasts are weak, but when it was presented an Interpol arrest warrant on Tuesday, it remained blowing, as he asked: “What is the law and what have I committed?”
