By Matthew
Russell Lee,
Exclusive
series
UNITED
NATIONS, April
15 -- As the
UN bribery
scandal
gathered force
Secretary
General Ban
Ki-moon called
for an audit
by the UN
Office of
Internal
Oversight
Services. The
audit,
completed
early this
year but first
put online
by Inner City
Press,
directly
criticizes
Cristina
Gallach, the
Under
Secretary
General for
Communications
and Public
Information.
Gallach,
without
recusing
herself,
unilaterally
deactivated
Inner City
Press UN
residential
correspondents
pass on
February 19,
and had Inner
City Press'
reporter
physically
thrown out on
First Avenue
without coat
or passport. Audio
here.
This is
called
retaliation.
Now, after
misrepresenting
the
restrictions
she has put on
the Press, she
has ordered
the final
eviction
of all of
Inner City
Press'
investigative
files on
Saturday,
April 16 at 10
am. On
April 15,
Inner City
Press asked UN
Deputy
Spokesperson
Farhan Haq how
much Gallach
allowed the
corruption
Global
Sustainability
Foundation to
put into the
slavery event
Ban Ki-moon
attended, and
about the
Government
Accountability
Projects
letter to Ban
Ki-moon
charging him
with
retaliation. Video here.
