Decision on Duterte’s interim release appeal to be livestreamed Nov. 28
The ICC Appeals Chamber will issue its decision on November 28, streamed live online, regarding former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte's appeal for interim release.
Duterte's defense team filed the appeal on October 14, challenging the ICC Pre-Trial Chamber I's September 26 decision to deny his release.
The defense argued the decision was erroneous, citing the need for humanitarian considerations for the 80-year-old Duterte, who they claim is debilitated and cognitively impaired.
The ICC Prosecution has recommended that Duterte remain in detention, facing charges of crimes against humanity related to his administration's war on drugs.
Previous appeals to overturn ICC jurisdiction on his arrest were rejected.
