UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese (@francesca.albanese.unsr.opt) is speaking out about the extreme measures being used to silence her. She describes being treated like a high level criminal by the U.S., with sanctions that literally block her from her own savings and make it illegal for American citizens to even interact with her.
Comparing her situation to being on a most wanted list, Albanese is exposing how far the system will go to crush anyone investigating human rights at the highest level.
This isn’t just about one person, it is about using financial warfare to kill off the truth.
STOP SILENCING US. ENOUGH.

Throughout her mandate, UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese has made repeated remarks that are antisemitic and incompatible with the responsibilities of a UN mandate holder.
WJC’s Director of Diplomacy, Leon Saltiel, today delivered the only intervention at the 61st session of the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva to publicly call out Albanese’s antisemitic remarks.
A UN mandate exercised in this way cannot command confidence. No one who espouses antisemitism or makes antisemitic remarks should be entrusted with a UN mandate.
Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories, is an international human rights lawyer known for her outspoken advocacy on international law and accountability. In this powerful speech, Francesca Albanese reveals the personal cost of speaking out.
Albanese describes how threats and sanctions have followed her work—restrictions so severe that, as she explains, they have affected her ability to participate in the global economy. From cancelled hotel bookings to denied insurance reimbursements and blocked financial access, she argues that these measures are part of a broader effort to silence voices that challenge powerful interests.
Yet her message is one of defiance. Albanese warns that attempts to intimidate or isolate advocates for justice will not succeed. Human rights, she says, only become fragile when people stand alone—and they become powerful again when people stand together.

Don’t fall for the propaganda. I grew up with Iranian students and my mom also taught them. They want the same things that Americans do when it comes to freedom, democracy, and wanting a good standard of living. Christiane Amanpour explains more on The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart. 💖✨
"I have a daughter, 10 years of age. Her name is Severine.
Each breath is a moment of heaven. And each word she utters is the chorus of angels. I expect that those mothers and fathers who have lost their children in Iran feel the same. And I extend my condolences in their grief."
-John Shipton, father of Julian Assange at the Iranian Embassy in Canberra
