The Trump administration's sanctions on her, which coincide with the state visit of Israeli prime minister and ICC war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu, showcase an unforgivable disregard for international law, human rights and humanity.

Francesca Albanese's work as UN special rapporteur for Palestine has been integral in highlighting the plight of the Palestinian people living under constant bombardment in Gaza, Western complicity in some of the worst atrocities in human history and the sickening profiteering by global corporations with financial interests in the global arms trade and supply chain.

To sanction her as an individual for simply telling the truth about Israel's genocide in Gaza and the role of successive US and UK governments demonstrates the disturbing lack of humanity and respect for international law and human rights among leaders on the global stage.

We call on the British government to demand the US government lifts the sanctions against Francesca Albanese immediately.
