Philippines on high alert as Rodrigo Duterte’s daughter says he was forcibly taken to The Hague

"Rodrigo Duterte’s daughter said the former president of the Philippines was “forcibly taken”
to The Hague after his surprise arrest at the Manila airport, prompting a security clampdown.
Mr. Duterte was taken into custody shortly after he landed from
Hong Kong as police executed an arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court.
The former president, 79, protested his detention before he was put on a chartered plane to The Hague,
Netherlands, where the ICC was investigating him for suspected crimes against humanity during his administration’s anti-drugs campaign, which led to thousands of killings.
"Today, our own government has surrendered a Filipino citizen, a former president at that, to foreign powers,” Mr. Duterte’s daughter, incumbent vice president Sara Duterte, said."
