SDNY COURTHOUSE,
June 20 – The UN's retaliation
is not limited to banning the
Press that Secretary General
Antonio Guterres doesn't like
- he also fired and penalizes
UN staff who dare speak out
about the Organization's
abuses.
On June 16,
a week before a documentary on
the topic that's said to
include leaked audio first
published by Inner City Press,
Inner City Press asked UN
Spokespeople Stephane
Dujarric, Farhan Haq and
Melissa Fleming:
"What are the
comments and actions if any of
SG Guterres on the BBC piece
about UN whistleblowers being
retaliated against, set for
worldwide view on June 21 but
presumably already in the SG's
awareness? See this."
While Team
Guterres has not answered, on
June 20 BBC World tweeted,
"The BBC was handed a secret
recording of Ben Swanson,
staff had come to him in tears
describing how an assistant
secretary general had put his
hand down her trousers."
HANDED? Inner
City Press exclusively
published the audio long ago
on SoundCloud here.
It has asked the BBC about it,
and why its correspondents so
rare ask about UN wrongdoing
including banning Press, in
which some of them have
colluded.
One BBC
correspondent at the UN (still
on BBC TV) protested when
Inner City Press reported the
anti-Tamil comments of one of
the UK's UN Relief Chiefs,
saying, You cost us access.
Another, still on BBC Radio,
took part in the UN
Correspondents Association push
to oust Inner City Press
for reporting that UNCA's
president Giampaolo Pioi took
rent money from a Sri Lankan
war criminal then gave his
government's genocide denial
film an UNCA screening.
There's more - what this site.
