WASHINGTON, May 21 (Bernama-Anadolu) -- The US has removed UN Special Rapporteur for Palestinian Human Rights Francesca Albanese from its Specially Designated Nationals list, according to the US Treasury Department's website Wednesday, Anadolu Ajansi reported.
The move comes after a federal judge last week blocked the Trump administration's sanctions against Albanese, ruling they violated her First Amendment rights.
Albanese, an Italian citizen living in Tunisia, was sanctioned after she encouraged the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague, the Netherlands, to pursue war crimes prosecutions against Israeli officials over their actions in Gaza.
