Former Human Rights Officer accuses Mohammed bin Zayed of bribing organization

NEW YORK, Dec. 23 (YPA) – A former official of the “Human Rights Watch” organization has confirmed the contents of an investigation into the attempt of Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed to bribe the organization with an amount of $ 2 million.

Sarah Whitson, former Middle East director at the organization, said in a series of tweets that she published on Tuesday on Twitter that the bribery “came through the former president of Bank of Havilland, Graham Robson, in an attempt by bin Zayed to woo the organization to turn a blind eye to human rights violations committed by the UAE authorities.”

Whitson added, “Bin Zayed sent his followers to infiltrate Human Rights Watch (referring to Robson) because of our relentless reports on the UAE’s human rights violations.”

She continued: “We used the $ 2 million in a good job to uncover the violations in the Gulf, and we had no idea that it was secretly coming from the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi.”

The tweets of the former “Human Rights Watch” official came as a comment on an investigation by “Bloomberg” agency that contained the contents of documents that reveal the conspiracy of the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi against Qatar through the Havilland Bank in Luxembourg, and the use of the bank in suspicious funding to cover up the violations of the UAE.
