Nilinaw ni Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon na sinunod ng mga awtoridad ang due process at batas sa pagsisilbi ng arrest warrant ng ICC laban kay dating Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte.
Sinabi ni Fadullon na binasahan ang dating presidente ng kaniyang karapatan at ipinaalam ang mga kaso laban sa kaniya.
Siniguro rin aniya nila na naprotektahan ang dignidad ng dating pangulo.
Iginiit ni Fadullon na may umiiral na arrest order na inisyu ang ICC.
Kung may kuwestiyon aniya sa validity ng warrant of arrest ay dapat itong idulog sa korte na naglabas nito at hindi sa arresting officers.
Aniya, “The former President was read his rights and informed of the charges against him. Clearly it was read to him that the WA issued by the ICC was on the following charges, crimes against humanity and murder. Precisely, we observed due process by reading him his rights and ensuring that the dignity of the former President is protected. There is an existing warrant for his arrest issued by the ICC. If questions wish to be raised on the validity of the warrant, it should be raised before the court that issued it and not before the arresting officers implementing the same. We are here only to ensure that the manner of arrest is done in accordance with the law.”
