Philippine Vice President Sara Duterte visited her father, former President Rodrigo Duterte, at the ICC detention center in The Hague.

Speaking outside, she said he appeared well-rested, spending time sleeping and watching TV, and missing Filipino food. He urged her to return home soon.  

Protests for and against Duterte are ongoing in the Philippines and The Hague, with supporters planning more rallies. He faces charges of crimes against humanity over his deadly war on drugs, which human rights groups claim caused tens of thousands of deaths.

Sara Duterte called his detention “oppression and persecution.”
