Duterte appeared in person during an ICC hearing on September 16, where judges heard arguments concerning his ability to stand trial. In her message, Zimmerman acknowledged that Duterte appeared to have aged but said she believed the former president continued to have the support and affection of many Filipinos. “They may have taken him far from home, but they can never take him away from the hearts of millions of Filipinos,” Zimmerman wrote. She also stressed that regardless of the accusations against him, Duterte remains entitled to dignity, due process, and a fair and impartial trial. Zimmerman likewise expressed hope that Duterte would eventually return to the Philippines. Duterte was transferred to ICC custody in The Hague in March 2025 and is facing crimes-against-humanity charges related to his administration’s anti-drug campaign. His trial is currently scheduled to begin in November.
