UN GATE, Feb 6 – Three weeks after Inner City Press published leaked audio of UN investigator Ben Swanson recounting being ordered by UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres NOT to investigate sexual harassment committed by a UN Assistant SG, now more Swanson audio has emerged (see here for description and below), and now put online by Inner City Press on SoundCloud, here, with related letter here.
On January 31, 2025 Inner City Press reported that Swanson is out at the UN, as of February 6.
Beyond covering up the sexual harassment with with Antonio Guterres' UN and 38th floor are rife, Swanson's final role involved covering up the UN's role in the October 7 attack. Guterres set up a link for Swanson to be thanked for this then quickly imposed a password requirement that that only positive comments are submitted, much like Guterres' continuing ban on Inner City Press.
Now Inner City Press can report that Swanson's farewell e-message said he was "taking an early bath" and leaving. It recalls British rugby league commentator Eddie Waring's famous catchcry from the 1970's : ""He's goin' for an early bath" (when a player was sent off the field for a serious foul).
So which was Swanson's serious foul? Not his covering up for UNRWA, but rather being caught on audio speaking of Guterres' cover ups? Inner City Press has repeatedly asked the UN Spokesperson (and Melissa Fleming et al) about Swanson and UNRWA - no answers. Totally unaccoutable.
Inner City Press, which Guterres has banned from the UN as it asks about these and his abuses, received from outraged UN whistleblowers video of sexual exploitation, they said, in a white UN-marked vehicle, here. Now Instagram, Facebook.
Inner City Press will continue to demand re-accreditation.
