FACT CHECK: Duterte not released from ICC detention
A YouTube video falsely claims former president Rodrigo Duterte is returning to the Philippines after being detained by the International Criminal Court (ICC).
The video, which has circulated on Facebook, uses a manipulated clip combining footage of a Korean star's visit to the Philippines with an old video of Duterte.
Duterte is currently detained at the ICC Detention Centre in The Hague, Netherlands, facing charges of crimes against humanity related to his administration's drug war.
His confirmation of charges hearing at the ICC is scheduled for September 23.
The ICC previously allowed the resumption of its investigation into the drug war, despite Duterte's legal team seeking the dismissal of charges.
