The Trump administration has imposed sanctions on Francesca Albanese, a prominent advocate for Palestinian rights, prompting her to accuse Washington of intimidating those who defend international law and human rights. Speaking in Bogotá, Colombia, on Wednesday, Albanese said the measures pose “a threat to anyone who dares to defend international law and human rights, justice and freedom.” Albanese added that the focus should remain on ending what she described as genocide against Palestinians in Gaza rather than on her personal situation. She was in the Colombian capital alongside members of The Hague Group coalition, which is seeking to bring genocide charges against Israel.
