@RachelRileyRR @MaajidNawaz @UN The scandal exposed by Emma has been buried for too long. In 2017 we wrote: “The UN human rights office dangerously handed over to China the names of 4 human rights activists slated to attend a Human Rights Council session, and has a practice of doing so.“

@RachelRileyRR @MaajidNawaz @UN We sent this complaint letter to then U.N. human rights chief & current Human Rights Watch Vice-Chair @raad_zeid:

@RachelRileyRR @MaajidNawaz @UN @raad_zeid The UN's response to our complaint effectively admitted having handed over names to the Chinese regime, but sought to minimize the harm caused, and claimed it was no longer being done.

@RachelRileyRR @MaajidNawaz @UN @raad_zeid That was in May 2017. A few months later, however, the U.N. implied that they had never handed over any names to China.

@RachelRileyRR @MaajidNawaz @UN @raad_zeid Yet in January 2019, a letter from Dutch Foreign Minister Stef Blok noted that the UN Ethics Office confirmed that a “list of names” WAS handed to China by the UN rights office, of activists registered to attend sessions of the UN Human Rights Council. unwatch.org/un-denial-hand…

@RachelRileyRR @MaajidNawaz @UN @raad_zeid All of this pales in comparison to the documents that @EmmaReillyTweet has, including from her own lawsuit against the U.N. within their internal tribunal system.
