Panel medikal ng ICC: Fit si Duterte sa mga pre-trial proceedings

Natagpuan ng independent panel ng medical experts na hinirang ng International Criminal Court na ang dating pangulo Rodrigo Duterte ay fit na makilahok sa pre-trial proceedings, kabilang ang postponed confirmation of charges hearings, ayon sa court filings. Kinumpirma ito ng ICC prosecutor at ng mga abogado ni Duterte na siya ay 'competent' para sa mga ito. Gayunpaman, hinamon ng legal team niya ang findings dahil sa mga inconsistencies.

Sa Manila, Philippines, inihayag ng independent panel ng medical experts na hinirang ng ICC ang kanilang assessment kay dating pangulo Rodrigo Duterte. Natagpuan nila na bagamat frail at matanda siya, may kakayahang mag-exercise ng kanyang procedural at fair trial rights.

Ayon sa nine-page observation ni ICC deputy prosecutor Mame Mandiaye Niang na inilabas noong Huwebes, hinikayat niya ang ICC Pre-Trial Chamber I na magdesisyon na capable si Duterte na makilahok sa confirmation hearing. 'Upon completion of their assessments, panel members individually reached the same overall conclusion that, while frail and elderly, Mr. Duterte nevertheless possesses the necessary capacities to meaningfully exercise his procedural and fair trial rights,' ayon kay Niang. Hiniling din niya ang resumption ng proceedings laban sa dating pangulo.

Samantala, sa 12-page observation, sinabi ni Duterte’s lawyer Nicholas Kaufman na bagamat capable ng long-term memory si Duterte, affected na ang short-term memory niya at 'he cannot retain information for more than a short space of time.' Hinamon niya ang panel's findings dahil 'conflict with those of the others' ang paraan ng pagdating sa conclusions. 'Such internal inconsistencies undermine the overall weight of the general joint conclusion on fitness. Before rendering a decision on the matter, the Pre-Trial Chamber must seek further clarification,' wika ni Kaufman. Hiniling niya ang evidentiary hearing para sa clarification.

Kinumpirma rin ng isang source na maaari siyang sumailalim sa trial na may accommodations tulad ng regular breaks at preferred food, ngunit hindi ito binanggit sa primary filings.
