UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese has said a US court suspended sanctions imposed against her, describing the ruling as a victory for freedom of speech and international advocacy.

"BREAKING! US court has suspended the US sanctions against me! As the judge says: 'Protecting the Freedom of speech is always just the public interest'," Albanese said on X, sharing the ruling.

Albanese has drawn international attention for her outspoken criticism of Israeli aggression in Gaza.

Last year, the US imposed sanctions on the official, citing her "efforts to prompt" International Criminal Court (ICC) action against US and Israeli officials.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated at the time that he was imposing sanctions for her "illegitimate and shameful efforts" to prompt action against officials, companies, and executives.

Accusing Albanese of waging a "campaign of political and economic warfare" against both countries, Rubio said the actions "will no longer be tolerated."

The sanctions followed a report by Albanese that identified corporations allegedly facilitating Israeli occupation of Palestinian lands.

These included Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon and Palantir, which provide military hardware, surveillance technology and infrastructure.
