A few months ago, a Canadian judge got her #amazon , #google , #uber, credit cards accounts, etc. closed.

She was doing her job investigating war crimes made in Afghanistan, including by the #USA

That offended Americans. They decided to close all her accounts, which they have control over.

I'm expecting this behavior to become more and more common.

This is why #canada should work on #digitalsovereignty

‘It’s surreal’: US sanctions lock International Criminal Court judge out of daily life

Canadian judge Kimberly Prost is unable to use credit cards, transfer money or book everyday services in what she calls an attack on the independence of the judiciary

The ICC Judge, Kimberly Prost is currently in #Aotearoa #NewZealand doing some university lectures. She spoke with NZ’s Q&A current affairs host, Jack Tame about the costs she’s faced since being sanctioned by the #Trump administration for attempting to investigate allegations of #WarCrimes, and why the mission of the #ICC is so important.
