PHILIPPINE President Rodrigo Duterte lashed out yesterday at another UN human rights expert for making critical remarks about his role in the expulsion of the country’s chief justice, telling him “to go to hell.”
Mr Duterte dismissed the remarks of Diego Garcia-Sayan and told him not to meddle in domestic problems.
“Tell him not to interfere with the affairs of my country. He can go to hell,” Duterte said in a late-night televised news conference. “He is not a special person and I do not recognise his rapporteur title.”
