Thanks again to @CommonsForeign for the chance to give evidence. A @UN that respects its founding principles has never seemed more vital. We'll only get that UN if brave politicians like @aliciakearns and her colleagues on the Committee keep asking questions and insisting on

Yesterday, the @UN reiterated in writing that handing names of dissidents to Beijing is policy, and that the @UN may secretly sacrifice their human rights for the sake of a better relationship with #Beijing . Which part of the Charter says cosy up to autocrats, @antonioguterres ?

The report editing going this late is not a good sign - it means a lot of Beijing's edits are going in. The standard practice is to include comments from the govt in an annex, NOT to change the report. Standard practices don't apply to Beijing in @mbachelet 's @UNHumanRights .

Jan 8: @UN puts me under investigation for telling govts they hand names of dissidents to China. Jan 11: I take Dutch govt to court for repeating @UN lies. Jan 12: I send @UN list of rules they are breaking. Silence. @UN am I still being investigated for being ethical? Yes or no?

Me to @UN yesterday: I am standing for Secretary-General as a protest candidate to try to force debate about corruption of the UN's noble purpose. @UN today: We are forcibly transferring you (again) to yet another post you are not qualified for.

China is committing genocide. @antonioguterres : silence @mbachelet : complicity Russia is committing war crimes. @antonioguterres : forbids staff from referring to invasion, opposes removing Russia from @UN_HRC . @mbachelet : counts the dead. @UN reform cannot be delayed.

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

So, @UNHumanRights , explain to @Dolkun_Isa @Genghe1 and all the others whose names you handed over why you prioritised your relationship with China over their safety. And @antonioguterres , why do you *still* refuse to protect me? @anticorruption @GovAcctProj /4

The @UN 's standard approach to accountability. Passing names to authoritarian rรฉgimes, rape of aid beneficiaries, and hiring terrorists are not an inevitable part of humanitarian work - they are actions, and they are entirely preventable. Accountability systems work because

Meanwhile, the UN just now (10:01 am) data dumped more of the rape charges about UN Peacekeepers (from Pakistan and Cameroon) on its website. None of the reporters UN lets it ask about this; Inner City Press asks in writing, no answers from @UN_Spokesperson

Finally member states start to realise that the @UN 's corrupt, internal "investigation" mechanisms are not fit for purpose. UNRWA and @WIPO are the only two agencies internally considered more corrupt than @UNHumanRights . It is beyond time to investigate all three.

It is unacceptable that @UNHumanRights is silent about #UyghurGenocide . It is unacceptable that @mbachelet refuses to publish her report on the genocide. It is unacceptable that she lies about her policy of giving names to China. It is unacceptable that public money funds this

Reminder: @UN is trying to fire me (or send me to DRC?) for blowing the whistle on its policy of handing activists' names to #China . It's much easier to fire someone for lying than #whistleblowing . Their own charge sheet reveals the truth: handing over names is still policy.

Can anyone name me something good @mbachelet has done as High Commissioner for Human Rights? She's silent on #UyghurGenocide , but what exactly *is* she doing for $35,000 a month tax free?

@KuzzatAltay @LBC @MaajidNawaz @UN I am so sorry for what is happening to your family and so many other families, and I am so sorry that @UN continues to argue that it has a right to betray Uyghurs, Tibetans and others by handing their names to the Chinese government. This must stop @antonioguterres

I am making a criminal complaint against @UN staff who faked an emergency to send armed police to my home. @UN will not let me work until those same individuals say so... @antonioguterres debate your opponents for #SG instead of sending armed police. What are you so afraid of?

Two victims of #UyghurGenocide spoke to French parliamentarians yesterday. @BekaliOmar described his torture. His father was tortured to death to punish him for speaking out. I wish @chamath @mbachelet @antonioguterres and everyone putting profit over human life had heard him.

The @UN dismissed me for: 1. Trying to change @antonioguterres ' policy of handing names to #Beijing . 2. Accurately reporting that policy to the US Congress when @UN wouldn't change it. The @UN thinks its largest donor has no right to know its policies. Do you agree @ABlinken ?
