Philippine authorities are seeking to arrest Senator Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa after he avoids detention for an International Criminal Court (ICC) warrant. Multiple outlets report that dela Rosa, a former police chief and a key figure in President Rodrigo Duterte’s “war on drugs,” takes refuge inside the Senate after Philippine police move to detain him. BBC, Al Jazeera and others describe how he remains in the Senate for a period of time while law enforcement tries to locate him, and how he later appears to slip away from the heavily guarded premises. The Diplomat and The New York Times describe him locking himself in a Senate office as officials sought his arrest and extradition. The Guardian reports government statements and investigations into reports that he secretly left the Senate before dawn. The Justice Secretary, Fredderick Vida, tells reporters that Philippine law enforcement agencies are tasked to effect his arrest and that anyone aiding him in evading arrest will face consequences, according to Al Jazeera and The Hindu. The reports consistently tie the ICC case to alleged crimes against humanity connected to the Philippines’ anti-drug crackdown.
