CLOONEY QUITS ENVOY ROLE OVER BREXIT FLAP

LONDON Amal Clooney has quit her role as Britain's special envoy on media freedom to protest the country's intention to breach international law over Brexitrelated legislation.

The British government has drafted a bill it acknowledges would violate its international legal obligations and undercut parts of the divorce deal it signed before Britain formally left the

European Union in January.

“It is lamentable for the U.K. to be speaking of its intention to violate an international treaty signed by the Prime Minister less than a year ago,” said Clooney, who is married to actor George Clooney, in a letter to foreign minister Dominic Raab. “It threatens to embolden autocratic regimes that violate international law with devastating consequences.”
