ICC judges to rule on provisional release of former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte

THE HAGUE: Former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte could be freed from detention at the International Criminal Court on Friday, as appeals judges are set to rule on a request to release him while proceedings against him are ongoing on charges of crimes against humanity. Duterte’s legal team is appealing an October decision to keep the octogenarian in custody after judges found that he was likely to refuse to return for trial and could use his freedom to intimidate witnesses.
