Today marks eight years since I found out about and reported @UNHumanRights secretly handing names of #Uyghur, #Tibetan and other activists to China. @UN has lied to governments, to the press, to the activists themselves. @antonioguterres investigate and stop complicity. /1
Some @UN stories:
2013-2017: never happened, to @EU_UNGeneva and all govts who asked.
2017: ongoing, in a press release
2018: happened, but @UN was only complicit in international crimes for a full DECADE (2006-2015), so move along.
2019: ongoing, in sworn court testimony. /2
If I had invented such an egregious policy, firing me would be easy. @UN is now investigating me FOR TELLING THE TRUTH. I was not "authorised" to do that, but @UN_Spokesperson was "authorised" to lie. An 8-year cover up implicates all of senior management. /3
.@antonioguterres will succeed in firing me, because complicity in genocide is ok in @UN, but ethics and #whistleblowing are not. I keep sending the proof to govts. @USUN @EU_UNGeneva @UKMissionGeneva @NLinGeneva @irishmissionun @AustraliaUN_GVA @CanadaUN it is time to act. /4

The @UN is investigating and planning to fire me for blowing the whistle to national govts on @UN giving names of their nationals to China, so China could target their families. @UN has *never* investigated those responsible or stopped handing over names. /1
So, @EU_UNGeneva @UKMissionGeneva @IrelandUNGeneva @GermanyUNGeneva @usmissiongeneva @NLinGeneva @SwedenGeneva @NorwayInGeneva @swiss_un @CanadaUN, you said my reports were essential. Time to demand independent investigation of the policy, and protection of the whistleblower. /2
The person who ordered the investigation (@UN's head of management) is *supposed* to be under investigation for retaliating against me. @antonioguterres, why did you refuse your own Ethics Office saying the investigation into the retaliators should be referred externally? /3 of 3

.@UNHumanRights still claims a right to lie. So, here's the truth @hrw @AmnestyEU @UNWatch @ISHRglobal, @WIN. This is a quote from the final Ethics findings: "the management was naturally and perhaps primarily interested in good relations with the member state (China);" /1
the Complainant (me) was interested in human rights and protection of human rights activists. OHCHR was, by virtue of the Complainant’s whistleblowing, placed in a very awkward diplomatic position by a human rights issue that it struggled to handle well... /2
A whistleblower’s reporting of such a practice, which was contrary to fundamental UN principles and values, is exactly the sort of activity that must be protected; it is far more important than minor infractions of bureaucratic rules." I couldn't agree more. /3
