THE HAGUE, Netherlands -- Potential witnesses in the International Criminal Court (ICC) case against former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte are coming under immense pressure through online harassment and other intimidation to withdraw their testimony, according to lawyers representing them.
However, human rights attorneys told a news conference on Sunday in the Dutch city where the ICC is based and Duterte is being held that the court will not necessarily require witnesses to travel to The Hague. People will also be able to participate anonymously, they added.
