Dhaka, July 17 -- Francesca Albanese is such a threat to world peace and security, according to the US, that she joins four International Criminal Court judges and the court's chief prosecutor on its sanctions list. She is the first UN expert in history to be the subject of sanctions. The US has also written to the UN secretary-general to demand she is sacked.

Albanese has not killed anyone. She has not stolen anything. She has not committed any crime. Her mortal sin is to stand up for international law and human rights, and demand that this applies to Israel.

Albanese will not be deterred. She has been labeled a terrorist, a Marxist and an antisemite by those wishing to smear her and get her fired. She has not blinked.

What is the rep...
