Ahmed's "the state that shoots journalists in the face" apparently refers to a Kiev journalist who was shot... not verified that Russians shot that journalist, I think? Further, we are reminded by others in this Twitter thread that UN Special Rapporteurs do their work voluntarily - they are not paid or funded. Thus Melzer's answer to another troll: @NilsMelzer: "You ask why #Assange and not #Syria? My resources are scarce & whenever I speak out for someone, I must remain silent for a million others. That is my predicament. So all I can do is speak out where others don't & highlight blind spots in public awareness for others to follow up".
