Daughter accuses government of ‘kidnapping’ ex-president as victims of ‘war on drugs’ express jubilation at arrest

The former president of the Philippines, Rodrigo Duterte, has landed in the Netherlands and been taken into the custody of the international criminal court (ICC) on allegations of overseeing death squads in his bloody “war on drugs”.

Duterte was arrested in Manila on Tuesday and placed on a private jet to Rotterdam by Philippine police. The plane landed on Wednesday afternoon and taxied into a hangar. An ambulance dropped medics nearby before they wheeled a gurney inside the aircraft.
