Rody’s interim release to Davao City pressed
Vice President Sara Duterte is renewing her appeal for the interim release of her father, former President Rodrigo Duterte, who is currently detained by the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague.
During the "Bring FPRRD Home Alive" event in Seoul, South Korea, the Vice President stated that the former president has committed to attending his court hearings and will not evade the case.
She argued that granting interim release would be reasonable, emphasizing that an 80-year-old with health issues would not flee and could be easily located in Davao City if needed.
Vice President Duterte also asserted that her father has not hindered the ICC's investigation or trial proceedings concerning alleged extrajudicial killings during his administration's war on drugs.
She further claimed that witnesses and accusers remain alive due to the former president's non-interference, which allowed the investigation to proceed unimpeded.
