Crowd cheering, mother hugging lawyer STORYLINE: The relatives of drug suspects who were killed under the ruling of former President Rodrigo Duterte’s crackdowns cheered and wept upon hearing the International Criminal Court's decision to keep him in detention. “We have been fighting for a decade now and the pain and hardship that Duterte has caused to the families of the victims of the drug war is immense, which is why this night is so important and we appreciate the support of the judges who rejected Duterte's appeal because there are really no grounds to release him," said Sheerah Escudero, who lost her brother Ephraim Escudero. Duterte will remain in detention at the International Criminal Court after appeals judges on Friday rejected a request to release him on health grounds. The octogenarian is facing charges of crimes against humanity for his alleged involvement in dozens of killings as part of his so-called war on drugs when in office, first as the mayor of a southern city and later as president. Duterte’s lawyers failed to show that an October decision by the lower chamber was unreasonable, Judge Luz del Carmen Ibáñez Carranza said, addressing the full courtroom in The Hague. The former president was not in court on Friday. The defense said it plans to “reintroduce its request to release” Duterte following the results of a medication examination expected next month, lawyer Nick Kaufman said in a statement. Duterte’s lawyers say he is “infirm and debilitated” and that it is cruel to keep him in custody during the trial. According to court filings, Duterte instructed and authorized “violent acts including murder to be committed against alleged criminals, including alleged drug dealers and users.” The charges against him date from Nov. 1, 2011, when he was still mayor of the southern city of Davao, to March 16, 2019, when the country withdrew from the court. Estimates of the death toll during Duterte’s presidential term vary. National police put the figure at more than 6,000, while human rights groups claim up to 30,000. Families of victims hailed Duterte’s arrest in March.
