CAIRO, June 26 (Reuters) - British barrister Karim Khan on Friday told Saudi Arabia’s Al Arabiya ​TV that the decision to suspend him ‌from his role as chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) violated court procedures and was unjustified.

“Unfortunately, ​the court’s bureau violated procedures, and ​what happened was astonishing, unjustified and unlawful,” ⁠Khan said through an interpreter in ​his first public comments since his suspension following ​a decision by diplomats running the ICC’s oversight body.
