Lawyer says Philippines’ Duterte was ‘abducted’, too ill to testify at ICC – World

His lawyer told the International Criminal Court judges in his preliminary hearing on Friday that former Philippine President Rodrigo Dortre was “abducted” before being taken to the Hague to face charges of murder and he was very sick to give evidence.

DOTORTA – who arrived in the Netherlands on Wednesday after being arrested on the ICC warrant for crimes against humanity – when he spoke to a detention unit via video link through a video link, he confirmed his name and date for the court.

Defense Attorney Salvador Medaldia said the breasts were more ill that his arrest and transfer to the Netherlands were “pure and easy kidnapping” and his client was in “weakening” medical issues.

The current Vice President of the Philippines, the daughter of the former leader, Sarah Dwarta, saw the action from the public gallery.

The presidency, Ilyia Antwanila Motok, replied that the doctors of the court, who inspected the Dawort at the time of arrival, believed that she was “fully mentally familiar and fit.” He added that Du Tee Reta and his lawyer could take up matters on the court and its health transfer in the phase of the proceedings.

Prosecutors have accused a 79 -year -old man of organizing the civilian population during his time.

Thousands of drug dealers and consumers were killed during the crackdown, when it allegedly born and armed men gave rise to massive casualties.

Gilbert Andreas, a lawyer representing the families of drug addicts in the Philippines, “For those victims of drugs, this is the first step in achieving justice.”

Dorties arrived at the Rotterdam Airport on a chartered plane on Wednesday and were transported to a Dutch Coast detention unit from the ICC building to the road.

In a video message on social media, he claimed responsibility for his actions. During the preliminary hearing, the judge summarized the allegations leveled against the Dawort, which was not asked to enter.

Davorte, who led the Philippines from 2016 to 2022, is ready to become the first Asian former head of state for trial in the ICC, the last resort court more than two decades ago for war crimes, crimes against humanity, aggression and genocide.

Davorte has said that he is suffering from diseases, including a chronic neuromsicular disorder, waist problems, refugees and conditions that can cause obstruction of blood vessels.

Surrendering to the Dawort’s court is a major victory for Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan, who faces US sanctions on the arrest warrant of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s arrest warrant.

At the end of the hearing, the judges confirmed the charges to begin on September 23, when prosecutors can present some part of their evidence and the judges decide what the charges may be made against the person. No trial can be expected to start by early 2026.
