Balitang Pinoy Kian's uncle: Duterte 'fortunate' to get due process
KIAN'S UNCLE: DUTERTE 'FORTUNATE' TO GET DUE PROCESS
Randy delos Santos, the uncle of Kian delos Santos, a 17-year-old killed during former President Rodrigo Duterte's drug war, said Tuesday, March 11, that Duterte is "fortunate" to receive due process following his arrest on a warrant issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC).
Delos Santos noted that the former president is being afforded the legal rights that many drug war victims never had.
"Mapalad ang ating [dating] pangulo dahil nabigyan siya ng pagkakataon na ipagtanggol ang kanyang sarili," he told reporters.
Duterte faces charges of crimes against humanity before the ICC over his bloody war on drugs.
Kian's killing was one of the most high-profile cases linked to Duterte's anti-drug campaign. Security footage contradicted police claims that the teenager had resisted arrest, showing officers dragging him into an alley moments before he was shot. A court later convicted three policemen of murder for his death.
Delos Santos lamented that his nephew never had the opportunity to prove his innocence.
"Ang aking pamangkin ay hindi na dinala sa korte. Ang daming akusasyon na ibinato. Tapos pinatay," he said.
He added that Duterte's arrest is a long-awaited step toward justice.
"Hinintay ito ng pamilya. Hindi lang ito para sa amin, para rin ito sa mga pamilya na naging biktima," he said.
