Former President Rodrigo Duterte brought to the Scheveningen Prison or the Hague Penitentiary Institution while awaiting trial by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for alleged “crimes against humanity” during his administration’s war on drugs.

Duterte arrive at the Penitentiary Institution around 7:34 p.m. (2:34 a.m. Philippine time) aboard a black vehicle.

Supporters who have gathered outside the prison chanted “We love Duterte” and “Bring him back” as the convoy entered the facility.

“He was arrested by the authorities of the Republic of the Philippines in accordance with an arrest warrant issued… for charges of murder as a crime against humanity,” the ICC said in a statement.

He will be brought before an ICC judge in The Hague in the coming days for an initial appearance.

The ICC arrest warrant says that as president, Duterte created, funded, and armed the death squads that carried out murders of purported drug users and dealers.

“I think this has something to do with law and order before. I tell the police and the military to work and I will answer for you. So this is it,” Duterte said in a mix of English and Tagalog in a video he said was taken as he was “about to land.”

The Embassy of the Philippines in The Hague, meanwhile, said it provided consular assistance to Duterte.

“In view of the winter season in Europe, the Embassy prepared, procured and delivered winter clothing, change of clothes and care packages for the former President,” the Embassy said in a statement.
