00:01Victims of former President Rodrigo Duterte's deadly war on drugs hope
00:05International Criminal Court prosecutors will expand the murder charges against him.
00:10The victims really are praying and hoping that there will be an expansion
00:14because in fact there were thousands upon thousands of arbitrary arrests,
00:18illegal imprisonments that were committed under the Duterte War on Drugs.
00:24ICC accredited lawyer Gilbert Andres says,
00:26ICC prosecutors still saw the mere dozens of victims in the charges as emblematic
00:31or examples of more killings that occurred under Duterte's command.
00:35Duterte's confirmation of charges hearing was set for Tuesday,
00:38but the ICC delayed it due to questions about his fitness to stand trial.
00:43The evening before, September 22, ICC prosecutors released a document
00:47charging Duterte with three counts of widespread murder as a crime against humanity.
