Families of drug war victims welcome Duterte arrest

Human rights activists and families of the victims from former Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte's drug war hold a press conference following his arrest on an International Criminal Court warrant tied to his deadly crackdown.

"I just kept on crying because of the happiness that I couldn’t contain," says Dahlia Cuartero, the mother of a victim, adding that "this somehow gives justice to my child."

00:00The people will not be defeated. The ruling party will not be defeated.
00:08Duterte will not be defeated.
00:10Ikulong, ikulong.
00:22Yesterday, when I found out that Luberte was going to be released, I was cooking.
00:30Because my children work from home, I have to cook for them.
00:35But I didn't go to them first. I just cried.
00:40Because I was happy that there was no discipline.
00:44I was happy that somehow, we were able to give birth to our child.
00:50I hope that Luberte will be released.
00:54That's what I really feel. I'm very happy.
00:58But the happiness is not yet there.
01:01Because there are still a lot of processes to go through.
01:04My dream is to go abroad.
01:08We don't feel tired to hear justice.
01:14Our family is very big.
01:18I can't stop talking
01:23so that I can use justice for my child and for the other victims.
01:28This is a demonstration that when you go back to Duterte,
01:32the law is in our court.
01:35And if it's said that it's prohibited, it's prohibited and you can be punished.
01:39So for the prosecutors or those who are in the position
01:43where they think that they can't stop this because it's very powerful,
01:48the ICC can do it.
01:50For the people, the simple people who are aggravated,
01:55the ICC can put Duterte in jail.
