Kinikilala ni Mamamayang Liberal (ML) Partylist Rep. Atty. Leila de Lima ang kasong isinampa ng Office of the Prosecutor ng International Criminal Court (ICC) kay dating Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte, hinggil sa kasong hinaharap nito na may kaugnayan sa War on Drugs at Extrajudicial Killings (EJK).

Nitong Martes, Setyembre 23, pormal siyang sinampahan ng 3 counts of murder, bitbit ang mga umano’y krimeng kaniyang ginawa magmula nang siya ay alkalde ng Davao City, hanggang siya ay maging Pangulo ng bansa.

Ibinahagi ni De Lima sa kaniyang Facebook post nitong Martes, Seytembre 23, na kaniya umanong wine-welcome ang kasong crime against humanity of murder na isinampa ng ICC sa dating pangulo.

“I welcome the charges filed by the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court against former President Duterte for the crime against humanity of murder,” ani De Lima.

“This serves as a milestone in the process of exacting accountability for the crimes committed in Davao City by the DDS and during the drug war all over the Philippines by the so-called “national network” of death squads, both created and organized by Mayor, then President Duterte,” dagdag pa niya.

Aniya pa, “The wheels of justice started to grind as early as the OTP’s declaration of a preliminary examination of the drug war killings in 2018. As early as then, we already warned Duterte to stop the killings or he will inevitably face justice before the ICC, no matter how far off in the future.”

Inilahad din ng kongresista na hindi nagkulang ang Philippine human rights community na paalalahanan si Duterte ukol sa kaniyang mga haharaping kaso sa hinaharap, na siyang binalewala lang nito.

“That future we warned him about is now the present we are witnessing. Duterte did not lack warnings and advice from the Philippine human rights community about his future accountability. He ignored all these warnings at his own peril,” anang kongresista.

“His detention and indictment for the drug war killings are the direct consequence of his own actions. As we have said again and again, he has no one to blame but himself. His co-conspirators will follow him to the Hague soon enough,” dagdag pa niya.

Matatandaang isa sa mga kritiko ni dating Pangulong Duterte si De Lima, na siyang nakulong sa administrasyon nito bitbit ang tatlong drug-related cases, na kalauna’y ibinasura din.
