Kitty Duterte, daughter of former President Rodrigo Duterte, and Honeylet Avanceña, Duterte’s longtime partner, arrived at the International Criminal Court (ICC) detention center in the Netherlands. Their visit comes as they seek to inquire about meeting with the former president, who is currently detained at the facility.
The ICC previously issued an arrest warrant against Duterte for alleged Crimes Against Humanity, linked to the controversial war on drugs during his administration. His detention has sparked mixed reactions, with some expressing solidarity while others continue to support the ICC’s legal actions.
The visit by Kitty Duterte and Avanceña is widely seen as a demonstration of their support for the former leader, who remains a divisive figure in Philippine politics. However, the ICC enforces strict visitation policies, and it remains uncertain whether they will be granted access to see Duterte.
As the situation unfolds, the former president’s case continues to draw international attention, with supporters and critics closely watching how legal proceedings will progress.
