Leaked Emails Confirm UN Gave Names of Dissidents to CCP

If the dissident expected to embarrass Beijing at the UN was already abroad, the CCP frequently threatened or even kidnapped and tortured the person's family, according to UN whistleblower Emma Reilly, who first exposed the scandal.

For years, the UN denied that its agents were providing the names of dissidents to the CCP. Thanks to leaked e-mails about the practice it is now clear that the UN misled its member governments and the press surrounding the scandal.

One of the explosive emails in question was sent on Sept. 7, 2012, from a diplomat at the CCP's Mission to the UN in Geneva requesting information on Chinese dissidents set to testify at the UN Human Rights Council.

The UN official, whose name was redacted from the leaked email, responded by confirming that two of the dissidents on the CCP's list were in fact accredited and planning to attend.

Another leaked email, this one from 2013, showed the same CCP diplomat again seeking to confirm the identities of Chinese dissidents expected at the Human Rights Council to expose CCP abuses.

UN human-rights officials responded to that CCP mission email with the names of four activists who were expected to attend the Human Rights Council.

Right from the start, the emails reveal that Reilly argued against giving the names of dissidents to the CCP. Instead, she advocated informing the targeted individuals.
