Manila: The Philippines vice president said Tuesday that her father, former president Rodrigo Duterte, would be sent to the International Criminal Court at the Hague on an evening flight following his arrest this morning for crimes against humanity.
"As I write this, he is being forcibly taken to The Hague tonight. This is not justice -- this is oppression and persecution," Vice President Sara Duterte said in a statement, adding that her father had been unable to assert his rights before local judicial authorities.
