Allegations of sexual misconduct against the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) are still under review by the court’s executive branch, an internal memo shared with staff on Sunday said, after a media report that he had been exonerated. ICC Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan, who investigates war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide, has stepped aside temporarily pending an investigation into accusations of a non-consensual sexual relationship with a lawyer in his office. He rejects allegations of wrongdoing. After a year-long investigation, the UN Office of Internal Oversight Services submitted its confidential fact-finding report in December to the ICC’s executive branch, known as the Bureau of the Assembly of States Parties. A Saturday news report by Middle East Eye said Khan had been cleared of the allegations. But in a memo to court staff, which Reuters reviewed, the Assembly’s President Paivi Kaukoranta said: “The disciplinary process before the Bureau is ongoing and remains confident...

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Sunday directed to increase the levy on high-octane fuel used by luxury vehicles by Rs200 per litre. According to a handout from the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO), the development came as the premier virtually chaired a meeting on decisions regarding high-octane fuel used in “luxury vehicles”. “The prime minister took notice that the levy on high-octane fuel used in the most expensive vehicles should be increased,” the statement said. Therefore, PM Shehbaz decided that the levy, which was Rs100 per litre, should be increased by Rs200 per litre. “A levy of Rs300 per litre will now be applicable on high-octane fuel used in the most expensive vehicles,” the statement said. “This decision will save the government Rs 9 billion per month and as per the prime minister’s instructions, this will be used to provide the people with relief,” it said. “This decision will reduce the burden on the economy; the richest class in the country will bear the burden,” it said. “The prices of fuel u...

Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Mohsin Naqvi said on Sunday that the 11th edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) would go ahead sans spectators while matches would be held only in Karachi and Lahore in line with the government’s austerity drive. The tournament, which is set to begin on March 26, will feature eight teams and 44 matches.
