The Trump regime has put UN human rights advocate Francesca Albanese back under punitive sanctions for her continued opposition to and scrutiny of Israel’s crimes against the Palestinian people. US judge Richard Leon had ordered the lifting of sanctions after legal action by her husband and daughter, who are US citizens, but the government appealed.
Now a panel of three Washington DC appeal judges have put an “administrative stay” on Leon’s ruling. They described the stay as “procedural” only and insisted that they were making no judgment on the merits of Leon’s decision or the Trump regime’s appeal. But the White House immediately leaped on the opportunity to re-apply the sanctions.
US — Zionist bullying
Similar sanctions have also been imposed on International Criminal Court (ICC) judges and lawyers as the US tries to bully the ICC into dropping arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and other Israeli war criminals.
