Sara slams ‘biased’ ICCMANILA, Philippines — After failing to get a ruling in favor of her father, detained former president Rodrigo Duterte, Vice President Sara Duterte accused the International Criminal Court (ICC) of being “biased.”“If they have already pre-judged the case of Rodrigo Duterte, we will also pre-judge the ICC as a biased political court. In a 25-page decision released yesterday, the ICC Pre-Trial Chamber I unanimously denied the defense’s request to indefinitely adjourn the proceedings due to Duterte’s supposed cognitive impairment. “The ICC cited the declarations of our family whether or not that happened on ‘Duterte Street’ or on other platforms. You should be factual about what you see in the case or the circumstances surrounding the case,” the Vice President said. I will ask that question tomorrow to former president Duterte,” the Vice President said after visiting her father in detention.
