Family of UN rights investigator sues U.S. over Gaza-related sanctions
TL;DR
The family of Francesca Albanese, the UN special rapporteur on the West Bank and Gaza, filed a Washington, D.C. lawsuit arguing U.S. sanctions last year violate the First Amendment by punishing her critical reporting on Israel’s actions in Gaza; the State Department calls the move baseless lawfare, while Albanese continues to publish reports and the U.N. and other actors weigh in on the Gaza ceasefire and casualties.
