00:00Former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte will remain detained at the International Criminal Court prison in The Hague, Netherlands.
00:08The court's appeals chamber denies his appeal for interim release Friday, November 28.
00:13It upholds entirely the decision of the pre-trial chamber, saying Duterte's defense team failed to point out errors in the earlier decision.
00:21Judge Luz del Carmen Ibáñez Carranza, a Peruvian jurist who heads the five-person chamber, reads out the decision.
00:27In the present case, having rejected the three grounds of appeal presented by the defense in the appeal brief, the appeals chamber unanimously confirms the impugned decision.
00:42Carranza previously also ruled against Duterte in June 2023, when the chamber allowed the continuation of the investigation.
00:49The appeals chamber's decision is final since there is no higher court in the ICC beyond it.
00:54Duterte is facing three counts of crimes against humanity of murder.
00:58These cover 49 incidents of killings involving 78 victims of the war on drugs and the Davao death squad.
01:05Duterte did not appear at his hearing, waiving his right to be there.
