The complainant in the sexual misconduct case against ICC Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan has given a new interview to CNN, published by i24NEWS, in which she describes her fear of opposing him. Sarah, a Malaysian lawyer working at the International Criminal Court, said Khan 'crossed my boundaries' and that there was no chance of consent given the power imbalance. The interview comes after earlier reports in which she denied allegations that she was an Israeli agent, as The Zioneer reported earlier today. The complaint against Khan, who issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and Defense Minister Gallant, has drawn significant attention. The full interview includes her account of the alleged misconduct. The claims remain unverified and are part of an ongoing investigation by the ICC's internal oversight body.
