The British Bar Standards Board announced Friday that it has placed an interim suspension on Karim Khan, the International Criminal Court’s chief prosecutor who was already suspended by the court itself on June 8 following sexual misconduct allegations.
The British legal regulatory body stated that under its Enforcement Regulations, the interim suspension must be reviewed by an Interim Suspension Panel at a formal hearing within the next four weeks. The board confirmed the suspension took effect immediately upon the announcement.
Khan, who is 56 years old, has denied the allegations that have been brought against him.
