00:00Former President Rodrigo Duterte is currently in jail because he is facing a case of crimes against humanity in the International Criminal Court or ICC.
00:10According to ICC Assistant to Council, Attorney Christina Conte, the ICC has heavy criteria to issue an interim release for Duterte,
00:20so it is unlikely that Duterte will be released while his case is being tried.
00:24It is also expected that Duterte will be able to escape his case to be able to face the witnesses if he is temporarily released.
00:35It is also unlikely that Duterte will be given an interim release because he called the ICC politically motivated.
00:42Duterte's trial will begin on September 23.
00:46Conte said that Duterte should be prepared for the evidence until September 22 and that he should prove his innocence in the case.
