Former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte was arrested on Tuesday at Manila Ninoy Aquino International Airport following an order from the International Criminal Court (ICC), which is investigating a crime against humanity filed against the former chief.

Duterte, 79, was arrested at Philippines airport after his trip to Hong Kong, reports the Associated Press.
