ICC to rule on Duterte's appeal for interim release on Nov. 28, 2025
The ICC Appeals Chamber has scheduled a decision for November 28 regarding former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte's appeal for interim release.
Duterte's request for interim release was initially denied by the ICC's Pre-Trial Chamber I on September 26.
His defense team filed an appeal on October 14, with responses from both the prosecution and victims submitted on October 21.
Earlier this month, the ICC Prosecution recommended that Duterte remain in detention, asserting that the defense did not identify any errors in the original decision.
Duterte has been held at the ICC detention facility since mid-March after being transferred by Philippine authorities.
He faces charges of crimes against humanity stemming from the thousands of extrajudicial killings associated with his administration's war on drugs.
