International criminal lawyers used to say #Duterte was “a prosecutor’s dream.” Now the #ICC will test that. Find out about the #Philippines’ “Duterte Harry,” charged with crimes against humanity: I highly recommend this book! bit.ly/41ZLOxa @scribepub @AsiaLitAgency

Teng Biao: “Disappearances are a necessity for this dictatorship. But #China does not just practise enforced disappearances, it also relies on forced appearances, as we saw w/ #PengShuai. They parade u in front of cameras to say what suits their purposes.” thetimes.co.uk/article/your-…
