"We’re remembering the time during his administration that basically gave a blanket immunity and encouraged this culture of terror for anyone who was suspected for a drug as a drug user, and there was no, no due process at all. There were 30,000 people who were killed randomly without due process. Among them, more than 100 were children. And even beyond that, several other people who were simply red tagged activists, journalists who were, for daring to challenge the government were red tagged as terrorists, and also were then killed as victims in this war."

STORYLINE:
Protesters and supporters of former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte gathered in front of the International Criminal Court (ICC) in the Hague, Netherlands where he is due to face charges.
Philippine police arrested Duterte in Manila on Tuesday and sent him by plane to the Netherlands to face charges of crimes against humanity over deadly anti-drugs crackdowns he oversaw while in office.
Duterte is expected to arrive by jet at the Rotterdam Airport later in the afternoon and be transported to the Dentation Prison in Scheveningen near The Hague.
A protester against the former president, Alodiq Santos, acknowledged the pain for those affected by the ICC’s decision but said she believed it was the right thing to do.
“It’s a very emotional experience for people. Politics has long been a patronage-like, personality-driven process in the country. And yeah, so we will, in the end of the day are all Filipino. So, it is hurting us. But we must stand firm to the principles that we all personally believe in," Santos said.
Duterte will face an initial appearance where the court will confirm his identity, check that he understands the charges against him, and set a date for a hearing known as a confirmation of charges at which a panel of pretrial judges will assess if prosecutors have sufficient evidence to merit sending him to a full trial.
Duterte could challenge the court’s jurisdiction and the admissibility of the case.
