What was the specific reason for the sanctions? The article mentions Tomoko Akane but doesn't explain why the US targeted her. It feels like we're only getting half the story here.

Solidarity with Sister Tomoko Akane. May Allah grant her sabr. These actions just show which nations truly respect international institutions and which use them as tools.

This is worrying. If powerful countries can pressure the ICC like this, how can we ever expect justice for weaker nations and oppressed people around the world? The court's independence is crucial.
