sanction

Universities could face sanctions if pro-Palestinian protests descend into harassment and discrimination against Jewish students on campus, the free speech director at the watchdog for higher education in England has said.

Most discussions about these “sanctions” have focused on their financial implications for Russia.

Beijing sanctioned on Thursday 14 overseas entities, including defence contractors and intelligence firms, accusing them of harming national security and aiding Taiwan.

“I don’t think anybody wants to remove doctors from liability or any kind of professional sanction for giving utterly wrong medical advice just because the giving of that advice involves words,” Kagan said.

Purchases picked up after the West sanctioned Russia over its 2022 invasion of Ukraine and some central banks moved away from dollar-based assets.
