It’s been seven years since the International Criminal Court began investigating former Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte and the “war on drugs” in which thousands of people were killed on his watch.

The moment Jerica Ann Pico, the widow of a man who was killed during the war on drugs in the Philippines, heard the news of former President Rodrigo Duterte's arrest, she said it felt like a fresh breath of life had rushed back into her.

Former Filipino President Rodrigo Duterte was arrested on an International Criminal Court warrant for his war on drugs while president. After returning from Hong Kong, the former strongman was detained by Filipino authorities at Manila International Airport.
