ICC Denies Duterte's Interim Release Request, Confirming Detention in The Hague

Former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte remains detained at the ICC detention center in The Hague after the court rejected his appeal for temporary release on March 6 due to risks of flight, intimidation, and recommitting crimes. The ICC's decision clarifies misinformation circulating about his release and false reports of a life sentence. Moving forward, Duterte’s case continues under ICC deliberation without changes to his detention status.
