GENEVA (AN) — A whistleblower whose sexual assault probe upended the United Nations’ AIDS agency was fired over misconduct claims in what she believes is "a blatant act of retaliation," an international advocacy organization said.
Martina Brostrom, a senior adviser at the Joint U.N. Program on HIV/AIDS, or UNAIDS, was dismissed due to allegations of financial and personal misconduct that she categorically denies, Code Blue, AIDS-Free World's global campaign to end impunity for sexual abuse by U.N. personnel, said on Friday.
