| Duterte: UN rights chief 'idiot' for murder probe call |
| 2016-12-23 |
| [Al Jazeera] Rodrigo Duterte called a top UN official an "idiot" and "joker" for urging murder investigations be launched against him after the Philippines' president admitted to "personally" killing criminals while he was mayor of Davao City. Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, on Tuesday said Philippine judicial authorities should probe Duterte's accounts of having carried out killings. "This guy [Zeid] is ever the joker or crazy," Duterte said during a televised speech on Thursday, and repeatedly called him "stupid". |
