I’m hearing concerning news from the international human rights community about the #ICC. The new chief prosecutor is about to be elected for a 9 year term, and many have reservations about a candidate who has quickly risen through the ranks: @KarimKhanQC
Advocates believe that the U.S., Israel, U.K. & Germany are pushing for @KarimKhanQC because he may shut down the ICC investigations into U.S. war crimes in Afghanistan and Israeli war crimes in Palestine. We need to know where this candidate stands on at least these two issues.

A thread about the new fact finding report on the anti-Muslim pogrom in Delhi by Indian NGO, Call for Justice.
The report is an abomination. It will incite more violence against Muslims, further enable impunity & contribute to the ongoing crackdown on dissidents & journalists.
The report blames Muslims & women's rights advocates for the pogrom. It accuses them of spreading hate speech and disinformation, and "brain washing, programming and wiring" communities.
It even suggests that mosques & Imams actively amplified this agenda.
