ICC Judge Alapini- Gansou of Benin. Judge Alapini-Gansou is in Russia's sights over the ICC arrest warrant for Putin.
The US sanction her over approving (with others) the arrest warrants for Gallant and Netanyahu, and maybe for earlier work concerning events in Palestine.

- Reine Adelaide Sophie Alapini-Gansou (Benin)

Trump placed sanctions on the judges over their judicial decisions regarding investigations into war crimes by Israel and the US.

The judges argue that the sanctions are extrajudicial measures

Three other sanctioned ICC judges have taken legal action in the US against the attack on them.
L-R: Judges Prost (Canada), Bossa (Uganda) and Alapini-Gansou (Benin) - who is herself also wanted by Russia.

They deserve more support.
