JAKARTA - Former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte who was arrested Tuesday on charges of crimes against humanity over a "war against drugs," was brought to The Hague.

This was conveyed by the Vice President of the Philippines who is also Duterte's daughter, Sara Duterte.

The Haag is a place from the headquarters of the International Criminal Court (ICC). As is known, the 79-year-old RodrigoDuterte was detained after arriving at Manila airport from Hong Kong, at the request of the ICC.

As reported by ANTARA from Anadolu, Tuesday, March 11, Sara Duterte said Manila had "handed over" the former president to "foreign forces."

"This is a clear insult to our sovereignty and an insult to every Filipino who believes in the independence of our country," he said.

"Even worse, former President Rodrigo Roa Duterte has been denied his fundamental rights. Since he was brought this morning, he has not been brought before competent judicial authorities to assert his rights and to allow him to take advantage of the leniency provided by law," he explained.

"This is not justice--this is oppression and persecution," he said.
