After ICC Arrest of Duterte, Filipino-Americans Rally for Prosecution of Former President for Crimes Against Humanity
New York, NY - In response to the International Criminal Court (ICC) arrest of former Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte, over 70 advocates from Filipino and human rights community groups rallied at the Philippine Consulate in NYC on Friday, March 14, to call for his prosecution and hold him accountable for crimes against humanity.
The arrest of Duterte represents a major step forward for human rights advocates and victims of the “drug war” after years of continued protest to hold the former president accountable for crimes against humanity. The action is part of the “Black Friday” global day of action, where Filipinos around the world, including New York, Philadelphia, Washington DC, Chicago, Los Angeles, and more are calling for justice for victims of Duterte’s so-called “Drug War”.
