ICC prosecutor opposes Duterte's renewed request for interim release
The International Criminal Court (ICC) Prosecutor's Office is once again opposing former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte's request for interim release from detention.
The prosecutor panel cited the need to ensure Duterte's appearance at trial, prevent obstruction of justice, and avoid further crimes as reasons for his continued detention.
Recent statements from Duterte's family, including claims of 'state kidnapping,' further demonstrate the necessity of his detention to guarantee his appearance in court.
The ICC prosecutor's response, filed on August 28 and published on September 12, urges ICC judges to deny Duterte's renewed request.
