Philippine Supreme Court rejects bid to block arrest of senator wanted by ICC
The Philippine Supreme Court rejected Senator Ronald 'Bato' dela Rosa's petition to block his arrest on ICC charges related to alleged crimes against humanity during the drug war under President Rodrigo Duterte. Following the court's decision, Justice Secretary Fredderick Vida ordered law enforcement to apprehend the fugitive senator, warning that anyone assisting his evasion would face consequences. Dela Rosa had emerged from hiding the previous week but disappeared again on May 14 after seeking refuge in the Senate.
