Did the new coronavirus come for bats?
The International Criminal Court (ICC) is processing a lawsuit filing that accuses China of using coronavirus as a bioweapon, the court said in a letter sent to the plaintiff.
The Hague court has informed Freedom Watch founder and lawyer Larry Klayman that his lawsuit against China is under consideration. Mark P. Dillon, head of the information and evidence unit of the ICC, sent Klayman a letter acknowledging the complaint.
“We will give consideration to this communication, as appropriate, in accordance with the provisions of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court,” the notice reads before adding, however, that this does not necessarily mean an investigation has been opened or will be initiated by the Office of the Prosecutor.
