STORYLINE:
Protesters held a vigil in Quezon City on Tuesday to commemorate the victims of the mass killings that happened during the former president’s deadly crackdown against illegal drugs.
Former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte was arrested by police at Manila’s international airport earlier on Tuesday on the orders of the International Criminal Court in connection with a case of crime against humanity filed against him, the Philippine government said.
Anti-Duterte protesters held up signs with faces of those killed during the war he waged against drugs in a political career spanning decades.
Duterte was arrested after arriving from Hong Kong and police took him into custody on orders of the ICC, President Ferdinand Marcos’ office said in a statement.
The Manila office of the International Police received an official copy of the arrest warrant from the global court and the notice for an arrest warrant was served to the former president, the government said.
It was not immediately clear where Duterte was taken by the police.
The government said the 79-year-old former leader was in good health and was examined by government doctors.
