ICC releasing Rody to Australia?
Vice President Sara Duterte will lead a "Free Duterte" rally in Melbourne, Australia, sparking speculation about former President Rodrigo Duterte's potential interim release to an ICC member state.
The rally, organized by the Duterte Movement, is scheduled for Sunday, June 22, at Parliament Gardens in Melbourne.
Vice President Duterte is expected to be the main speaker at the event, which aims to gather members of the Filipino community in Australia.
A source close to the Vice President suggested the rally might signal a possible interim release of the former president to Australia while he awaits trial.
Australia's role as an ICC member state, its financial support for the court, and its influence in electing ICC officials are highlighted as reasons for this possibility.
