US action to impose sanctions on Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt for her work as UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights in the Occupied Palestinian Territories is a shocking reprisal for her rights advocacy. I urge the immediate repeal of these sanctions.

It's not just Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt—last month the US also sanctioned the leading Palestinian rights group Addameer – الضمير. In new statement, Amnesty International & Human Rights Watch condemn outrageous use of US sanctions to do bidding of Israel—which has long muzzled human rights advocacy. They should reverse course
