Former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte is expected to make his first public appearance in over a year. He is due to attend a pretrial hearing at the International Criminal Court. Duterte, 81, faces charges of crimes against humanity. His charges are related to his alleged involvement in dozens of killings during his war on drugs campaign. He has denied the charges against him.

Duterte had missed previous hearings, citing medical reasons, but the court ruled he was healthy enough to stand trial. Further details about the case and upcoming hearing are available.

The hearing is a significant development in the case against the former president.
