ICC prosecutor suspended by UK barristers’ watchdog amid sexual misconduct inquiry

Bar Standards Board bars Karim Khan from practising in England and Wales, following suspension by ICC

Karim Khan, the international criminal court prosecutor, has been suspended from practising as a barrister in England and Wales by the UK’s Bar Standards Board.

The move comes less than two weeks after Khan was suspended as ICC chief prosecutor as part of a disciplinary process triggered by sexual abuse allegations against him. Khan has repeatedly denied the claims.
