Former Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte was detained on Tuesday under an International Criminal Court arrest warrant, which accused him of crimes against humanity in connection with the brutal war on drugs he led while in office, the Philippines Presidential Communications Office said.

Members of the Philippine National Police met the former president as he arrived in Manila, the capital, on a flight from Hong Kong, the office said.

"The former President and his entourage are in good health and have been examined by government doctors," the office said in a statement posted on social media in Filipino. "They have assured that he is in good condition."
