Former Philippine President Duterte vowed that he would not flee if released!
The daughter of the detained former Philippine President, Vice President Sara Duterte, stated that as the legal team of the former president prepares for the upcoming confirmation of charges hearing on September 23 at the International Court of Justice in The Hague, the former president insisted that he would not evade justice, but simply wanted to return to Davao City after obtaining temporary release.
According to the Rome Statute, detainees at the Hague court can apply for temporary release, and if they meet the requirements, they can be granted temporary freedom.
Vice President said her father would rather stay in Davao City than anywhere else, "It's clear, he has repeatedly told me."
One of the requirements for temporary release is to ensure prevention of any potential obstruction or intimidation of witnesses, and the vice president claimed that her father has proven he would not intimidate his critics.
"It's clear, former President Duterte has been attacked by former Senator Trillanes for a long time, and Trillanes also identified his witnesses, but what happened to them? Nothing happened to them."
