On ICC denial of Duterte’s interim release

 

The pre-trial chamber of the International Criminal Court (ICC) was correct in considering Duterte a “flight risk” in denying the former President his plea for interim release.

 

Duterte, even when relieved of his most powerful position in the Philippines, remains a symbol of fear and tyranny, while her daughter, VP Sara, extends this dynastic power into reality not only for being the second in command but also as the main protagonist of President Marcos.

 

Keeping Duterte at close watch by the ICC serves the country’s interest well. The next thing we should expect is for the ICC to proceed with the trial forthwith.
