MANILA, May 21 — The Philippine government today ordered police to arrest a senator who is warranted by the International Criminal Court over his role in ex-president Rodrigo Duterte’s deadly drug crackdown.
“I would like to confirm that the Philippine law enforcement agencies which would include the PNP and the NBI are now tasked to effect the arrest of Senator Ronald ‘Bato’ dela Rosa,” Justice Secretary Fredderick Vida told reporters.
The Philippine Supreme Court’s interim ruling yesterday denying the Philippine ex-police chief Dela Rosa’s bid for a temporary restraining order means the ICC warrant can now be enforced. — AFP
