Duterte killed thousands, ICC prosecutors say

THE HAGUE: Rodrigo Duterte killed thousands during his anti-drug campaign, an International Criminal Court prosecutor alleged Friday, as the crimes against humanity hearing against the former Philippines president wrapped up. His defense team countered that Duterte had murdered no one and that the prosecution’s argument was based on “hearsay” and “conjecture,” falling far short of the bar needed to confirm the charges against him. “He’s proud of his killings. He wants to be remembered for them,” said Julian Nicholls, summing up for the prosecution.
