'You can hang me,' Bato says if proven guilty by PH court, not ICC, over drug war deaths

-


'You can hang me through the decision of the Filipino courts, but my god, not by a foreigner,' former national police chief Sen. Ronald dela Rosa said. 





MANILA — Former national police chief Sen. Ronald "Bato" dela Rosa said Saturday that cases related to the deadly drug war of the Duterte administration should be filed in Philippine courts, not before the International Criminal Court. 


On Jan. 26, the ICC resumed its investigation into the bloody drug war and Davao Death Squad killings in the Philippines, saying Manila's efforts to investigate and prosecute the alleged crimes against humanity in the Philippines were not satisfactory. 


More than 6,000 drug suspects were killed in police operations in the country during Duterte’s term from 2016 to 2022, authorities said, citing official tallies.
