Khan’s accuser, named only ⁠as Sarah, recently told CNN that Khan had shown escalating behaviour of touching and groping her, recounting a time she said he touched her intimately while she was pretending to be asleep.

Khan has denied any wrongdoing and his lawyers have called the process that led to the vote procedurally unfair and unsupported by evidence.

Khan was leading probes into multiple conflicts, but his decision in 2024 to seek arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant over war crime charges in Gaza prompted an intense backlash from governments and advocacy groups.

Former European Union chief diplomat Josep Borrell wrote in an editorial that the case against Khan is “obviously part of a larger offensive against the ICC”.

    Wasn’t this the guy that had his E-mail closed and had problems with Visa?
    Sounds to ma like it’s a strategy of US intelligence to accuse people of sexual misconduct. Same thing that happened to Assange!

      Rape is weaponized by regressives against women, and only investigated when they can use it as a political tool against their enemies.

      I hate this reality.

    Khan’s lawyer says:
    Tayab Ali, head of Khan’s legal team, noted that a judicial panel had “unanimously” determined that findings by the United Nations Office of Internal Oversight Services “did not establish misconduct or breach of duty by Mr Khan under the relevant legal framework”.

    Versus the claimed reason for firing him:
    “The Assembly has decided by a majority of 82 States Parties that…prosecutor Karim Kahn committed serious conduct and a serious breach of duty…and to remove [him] from office,” the Assembly president announced, calling for the dignity and privacy of all those involved.

    Does not compute.

    This is how the right removes obstacles. They know the left must investigate, and they hope for kneejerk reactions like this.

    I miss the reassurance of an investigation and trial before one’s career is ended.

    So she was sleeping in his presence, obviously near her and he tried getting intimate with her and instead of telling him to keep his hands to him and leave the situation she somehow got into without her consent, she pretended to sleep and let him keep doing it?

    I understand people freeze, but I always sleep in the same bed/room with people I don’t want to get the wrong idea about our relationship.

      Yes, you should not sleep in the same room as a man if you don’t want to be raped…

      No idea why she was there and how anything of this came to be or if it is even true. But good job coming to this conclusion 👍
