Former Philippine President Rodrigo Dutti, required by the International Criminal Court (ICC) due to crimes against humanity, was transferred to the Hague hours after her arrest in the capital, Manila, on Tuesday.

Under Reuters, the International Criminal Court is accused of criminal responsibility of killing at least 43 people between 2011 and 2019 as part of his drug war as mayor of the southern municipality of Davao and after that as president between 2016 and 2022.

Dotti wanted to be tried in a court in the Philippines. He told police officers while he was detained in Manila.

Here is what we know about the Dotti drug war and the reactions of the families of the victims.

What was the “drug war” for my home?

Rodrigo Deutter built his reputation as “The Punisher” while Davao’s mayor was more than 20 years, although he served intermittently. During his continuous work, more than 1,000 people, including suspected drug users and merchants, were killed. Rights organizations accused Dutti of managing the “death team” as a mayor, a position of his work until the end of his last term in 2016.

His pledge to launch a country level on drug gangs became a feature of his successful presidential campaign in 2016.

After the oath as president on June 30, 2016, Dutti pledged to solve the country’s illegal drug problem within six months. “I do not care about human rights, believe me,” then Declare.

He also submitted to the soldiers and the police “his official and personal guarantee” from immunity from the claim of the deaths that were carried out in the performance of their duties.

On July 1, 2016, the first full day of the presidency of Dutti, the police carried out drug control operations throughout the country, killing at least 12 people in a bloody campaign over the next six years that would leave about 7,000 people, including women and children.

By December 2016, more than 5,000 people were killed throughout the country, including 2041 drug suspects in police operations, according to the data collected by the island. Other victims were killed by unknown gunmen, and some will later turn into police officers.

In the first few months of Duttiti, many victims were found binding, and their remains dumped in polluted tables, garbage emptying sites and herbal lands.

By the end of his term in 2022, human rights defenders and the International Criminal Court prosecutor estimated that about 30,000 people were killed by police and unidentified members. But the police reported only 7,000 deaths during police operations, killing unknown perpetrators.

What was the public’s reaction to the war on drugs?

During his presidency, Dutete enjoyed high approval from the audience, allowing him to press for his brutal agenda to combat drugs.

Immediately after assuming his post in 2016, he received a rating of 86 percent approval. Immediately before he left his position in 2022, his approval classification was 73 percent, according to Pulse ASIA survey.

At every turn, Duttiti’s statement about his bloody war on drugs was subjected to the lover. In 2017, the National Assembly of regional legislators and legislators highly praised when he said that there is nothing that he could do if the poor were killed in his war on drugs. He also complained that the media was “treating the victims as a saints” and “innocent people”.

An international amnesty report in 2017 found that most of the people who were killed were living below the poverty line. The report said that police officers also confessed to receiving rewards for rewards to $ 150 to $ 300 per drug suspects, which creates a “killing incentive.”

Staying alive Dotti’s drug war on drugs

While many of the victims in the drug war met with their sudden death, some of them survived the narration of police executions and abuse.

In September 2016, Francisco Santiago Junior told the island that he and another man was detained by the police in Manila, before they were brought to a dark alley and shot him several times.

The Santiago companion, George Hugins, was killed immediately. But Santiago stumbled on the ground and played dead. He got up after journalists came to the scene, and his rescue was largely arrested on the camera. His testimony was later included as evidence of the complaint deposited before the International Criminal Court.

Roger Hero met a similar fate in 2018. The police opened fire on the young father of four Kwazon province in the vacuum square, destroying his jaw. The police accused him of stealing, and trying to escape using a motorcycle. But Herro’s wife later told photographer Ezzra Akayan that the victim does not even know how to ride a motorcycle. Herro also played dead to survive, and only managed to wake up and seek help after leaving the police.

In another case in 2017, the Human Rights Committee found a hidden cell inside a police station in Manila with 12 narrow detainees at home. The agency said that there is no record of their arrest and the police failed to notify their families or their lawyers of their disappearance. In 2021, the government rejected the complaint against police officers, accused of illegal detention.

Children spare

As of June 2020, four years after the drug war in Doterti, an estimated 129 children were killed by police or allied attackers, according to a Reuters news agency report that was martyred in an active group.

Mika Olbina, a three -year -old, was one of the youngest of which was killed, who was beaten during the 2019 raid targeting her father in Rezal Province outside the Manila Metro. The police claimed that the child was used as a “shield” during the operation.

On the island of Negros in the center of the Philippines, the four -year -old Altiah Barbon was killed after the police and her father fired during a motorcycle. The police claimed that her father was a drug dealer.

One of the most prominent cases was the killing of Kayan Delos Santos, who was fired by the police by the police in an alley near his home in 2017. According to the witnesses, he appealed to the 17 -year -old the police to allow him to leave, because he was still studying his exams the next day. The police claimed that he was armed. But CCTV footage of the accident showed that the police were dragging the unarmed and unable to just a few moments before killing him.

Just a few days later, the police were also accused of kidnapping teenagers on another suburb in Manila. Police said teenagers tried to steal a taxi driver. At the pursuit of the following police, the largest victim, Karl Arnees, was shot.

What is the reaction of the families of the victims, rights groups?

Llore Pasco, the mother of two young men who were killed in the alleged police operation, told Al -Jazeera that she was “full of mixed passion” after learning to arrest Doterti.

She said, “I felt tense and extreme fear, but I am also excited.”

“My eyes were full of tears. Finally, after many years of waiting, that happens. This is.”

She said that the International Criminal Court is her last hope for justice, adding that she “has little hope” in obtaining justice in the Philippines.

The sons of Pasco, Christo and Juan Carlos, disappeared from their neighborhood in May 2017.

Pasco said that her children were killed in a police rub. Its testimony was also included in deposits before the International Criminal Court in 2021.

Jane Lee, the wife of the drug war victim, said that the arrest of Dutti shows inequality in the Filipino justice system.

“Dotte is only arrested now. But our family members have been executed immediately.” “I want to see my life in prison.”

Did the Philippines withdraw from the International Criminal Court?

Duttri said he would barely withdraw from the International Criminal Court a month after ICC said in February 2018 that he would perform a preliminary investigation into the deaths. He withdrew from the Hague -based court in March 2019.

But under the rules of the International Criminal Court, even if the state withdraws as a member, the court reserves the judicial state for crimes in its administration committed during the membership period.

The International Criminal Court was suspended in 2021, but it was reinforced after two years after the Hague -based court said that it is not satisfied with the Philippine efforts to distribute justice.

The current government of President Ferdinand Marcus Junior initially said it would not cooperate with the International Criminal Court, but said in late 2024 that it would comply with any arrest warrant. Analysts say that U-URUN of Marcus Junior is due to his repercussions with the daughter of Rodrigo Duterti, Vice-President of the country, Sarah Dutti.
