A senator in the Philippines who has led the political fight against President Rodrigo Duterte’s war on drugs was arrested on Friday morning on charges that she herself benefitted the drug trade while serving as the country’s Secretary of Justice. The senator, Leila de Lima, has fiercely denied the allegations since Duterte first levied them in August, describing them in a statement Friday as “manufactured stories” intended to make an example of her and “to intimidate, silence, and destroy anyone who dares challenge” Duterte. “My arrest is an appalling sign of the return of a power-hungry, morally bankrupt and abusive government,” she said.
