Recognizing the fundamental principles of justice, fairness, and human rights enshrined in both national and international law, we, the undersigned, submit this petition with urgency and conviction. Rodrigo Duterte, former President of the Republic of the Philippines, is currently facing detention under circumstances that raise serious concerns regarding due process, political motivations, and humanitarian considerations.
We believe that his continued incarceration threatens the stability of the nation, undermines the principles of justice, and sets a dangerous precedent for politically motivated legal actions. This petition seeks to uphold the rule of law, ensure fairness in legal proceedings, and call for his immediate release based on humanitarian and legal grounds.
**PETITION FOR THE IMMEDIATE RELEASE OF RODRIGO DUTERTE**
**To:** International Criminal Court (ICC)
**Subject:** Call for the Immediate Release of Rodrigo Duterte
We, the undersigned citizens, supporters, and concerned individuals, respectfully submit this petition to call for the immediate release of **Rodrigo Duterte**, former President of the Republic of the Philippines. His detention is a matter of grave concern, and we believe his continued incarceration is unjust, politically motivated, and detrimental to the nation's stability.
### **Reasons for His Immediate Release**
1. **Lack of Legal Basis / Unjust Detention**
- We strongly believe that Rodrigo Duterte’s detention lacks due legal process and fairness. If there are legal proceedings against him, they should be handled transparently, ensuring his fundamental rights are upheld.
2. **Political Persecution**
- Many believe that Duterte's detention is driven by political motives rather than a fair judicial process. We urge authorities to ensure that justice remains free from partisan agendas.
3. **Humanitarian Concerns**
- As a senior citizen and former national leader, Rodrigo Duterte should be afforded humanitarian considerations. His health and well-being must be prioritized in accordance with international human rights standards.
4. **National Stability**
- The continued detention of a former President may lead to political unrest, division, and uncertainty in the country. The release of Rodrigo Duterte will contribute to unity and stability among Filipinos.
### **Our Demand**
We respectfully urge the **International Criminal Court (ICC)** to:
- **Ensure a fair, transparent, and unbiased legal process** regarding Rodrigo Duterte’s case.
- **Facilitate his immediate release** on humanitarian and legal grounds.
- **Allow him to defend himself freely** without undue influence or pressure.
- **Uphold justice and the rule of law** in accordance with international legal standards.
### **Call to Action**
We call on all Filipinos, political leaders, and international human rights organizations to support this petition.
We urge the immediate intervention of legal experts, lawmakers, and human rights advocates to ensure that Rodrigo Duterte’s rights are protected and that he receives a fair and just legal process.
**Sign this petition and stand for justice!**
