Philippine Senator Dela Rosa Evades Arrest Amid ICC Warrant Controversy

Senator Ronald Dela Rosa, a key figure in the controversial anti-drug campaign under former President Duterte, is currently evading arrest after the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued a warrant against him for alleged crimes against humanity. The warrant stems from a brutal crackdown that reportedly led to over 6,000 deaths between 2016 and 2018. Dela Rosa has taken refuge in the Philippine Senate, where he has been surrounded by supporters protesting the ICC's actions.
