Former Philippine President Duterte Arrested and Taken to The Hague! 😱

 Former Philippine President Duterte Arrested and Taken to The Hague! 😱 In a shocking turn of events, former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has been "forcibly taken" to The Hague following his arrest on an International Criminal Court (ICC) warrant for alleged crimes against humanity during his deadly crackdown on drugs. 



His daughter, Vice President Sara Duterte, claims he has not been brought before any competent judicial authority to assert his rights.


Duterte, who led the Philippines from 2016 to 2022, has shown no remorse for his brutal anti-drugs campaign, which resulted in over 6,000 deaths according to police data. Rights groups argue the actual death toll could be much higher. 


The former president was taken into police custody upon arriving at Manila airport from Hong Kong and later placed on a flight to The Hague.


Critics, including Duterte's former lawyer Salvador Panelo, have called the arrest "unlawful," citing the Philippines' withdrawal from the ICC in 2019. Footage of Duterte being escorted through the airport by police has caused a huge shock in the Philippines, with reactions deeply polarized. 


While some see the arrest as vindication for victims of the anti-drugs crackdown, Duterte's loyalists and political allies are mobilizing in his defense, framing this as foreign interference and political persecution.


Duterte's detention comes at a significant time in Philippine politics, with midterm elections approaching in May. The arrest could reshape the political landscape, potentially reigniting support for political change and reform or strengthening Duterte's grip on the national imagination.

From Viral Fame to Legal Trouble! College Student Lily Stewart Arrested Again! 🚨

From Viral Fame to Legal Trouble! College Student Lily Stewart Arrested Again! 🚨 Lily Stewart, the University of Georgia student whose smiling mugshot turned her into an internet sensation, is back in the spotlight—but not for the reasons she’d hoped. Just weeks after her first arrest, Stewart has been taken into custody again, facing more serious charges of obstruction of a law enforcement officer and loitering or prowling. Unlike her initial run-in with the law, where people joked about her confident smirk, this second arrest is raising eyebrows for all the wrong reasons. According to reports, she was booked early in the morning on March 23, posting a $4,000 bond just hours later. While details remain scarce, obstruction of an officer suggests she may have actively resisted law enforcement, while loitering charges often hint at suspicious or unlawful behavior. This marks a stark contrast from her first arrest on March 8, when she was caught speeding on her way to a fraternity part...
