Karim Khan describes threats from David Cameron and Lindsay Graham in new interview Submitted by Imran Mulla on Wed, 04/29/2026 - 18:38 ICC prosecutor says he has been exonerated by investigation into sexual misconduct claims and is 'perplexed' the case has not been closed International Criminal Court prosecutor Karim Khan poses during an interview with AFP at the Cour d'Honneur of the Palais Royal in Paris, on 7 February 2024 (AFP) Off The British chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, Karim Khan, has spoken publicly for the first time since he went on extended leave last May pending the outcome of a United Nations investigation into sexual misconduct allegations against him. In an interview with journalist Mehdi Hasan on Zeteo, Khan insisted he is innocent of all allegations against him, and said he has faced significant pressure and threats over his pursuit of arrest warrants for Israeli officials - including from David Cameron, the then British foreign secretary, and US Senator Lindsey Graham. Many of Khan's comments appear to corroborate Middle East Eye's previous exclusive reporting on efforts to undermine the prosecutor.
