One should notice the new narrative where something is done to people but the journalism never involves those people.

I once read some stuff from someone sanctioned for other reasons. Accounts "frozen" no way to receive income. Deserved or not, that is the package. More interesting was that they also blocked his wife. They should receive some weekly living money but no one responds to his queries. It got even more interesting where they have 3 very young kids and aren't allowed to leave the country.

He denies doing what they accuse him off but argued it isn't even relevant. He argued that if he should be punished for something the punishment should be for him. Why take it out on an 1 year old?

My point being, how terrible do these icc sanctions turn out? Isn't that the story?
