The International Criminal Court ’s chief prosecutor has lost access to his email, and his bank accounts have been frozen.
The Hague-based court’s American staffers have been told that if they travel to the U.S. they risk arrest.
Some nongovernmental organizations have stopped working with the ICC and the leaders of one won’t even reply to emails from court officials.
Those are just some of the hurdles facing court staff since U.S. President Donald Trump in February slapped sanctions on its chief prosecutor, Karim Khan, according to interviews with current and former ICC officials, international lawyers and human rights advocates.
did Microsoft also freeze his bank accounts?
this is the title ☞ “President Donald Trump in February slapped sanctions on its chief prosecutor, Karim Khan”
This is a technology forum. If the article is relevant here at all, it’s because of Microsoft. A better argument could probably be made that the article shouldn’t be here.
The title is still misleading and should have been worded better. Also company complying with sanctions is not news. The only reason it’d be newsworthy is if Microsoft locked his account independently.
It is relevant because Microsoft is shutting down people their accounts for prosecuting war crimes. This should be a wakeup call for people to stop using services by the Fascist American government.
And here I am having to oversee our organisation moving to Windows 11. I would happily not do that but I cannot imagine trying to administer a network of Linux computed.

Microsoft is not part of the US government.
Yet the US government has full control over it.
