SC releases notice denying immediate TRO vs. Duterte's arrest
The Supreme Court (SC) has denied a petition for a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) filed by former president Rodrigo Duterte and Senator Ronald dela Rosa concerning the arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC).
The SC found that the petitioners failed to establish a clear and unmistakable right for the immediate issuance of a TRO.
Duterte is now in the custody of the ICC in The Hague, Netherlands, to face charges in connection with his controversial drug war.
His son, Davao City Mayor Sebastian Duterte, and daughter Veronica, filed separate petitions for the writ of habeas corpus for the former president.
The SC ordered the respondents, Senator dela Rosa and the Philippine government, to comment on the petition within a non-extendible period of 10 days from notice.
