Philippines: Arrest ICC-wanted lawmaker
The
Philippine government on Thursday ordered police to arrest lawmaker
Ronald dela Rosa, who is wanted by the International Criminal Court
(ICC).
Dela Rosa, the former police chief who served under former
President Rodrigo Duterte, is wanted by the ICC for ordering the
killing of thousands from 2016 to 2018 as part of Duterte's "war on
drugs."
"I want to confirm that Philippine law enforcement
agencies have now been tasked with arresting lawmaker Ronald 'Bato' dela
Rosa," Justice Secretary Fredderick Vida told reporters.
Duterte himself is accused of crimes against humanity by the ICC and is in custody.
