A UN employee who released a report on child abuse by peacekeepers in the Central African Republic to the outside is restored.
The Swede Anders Kompass was suspended early last year and threatened to be fired because he had leaked confidential documents to the French authorities, writes the British newspaper The Guardian.
Kompass leaked report on abuse by French troops because he thought there was no action on the abuse was undertaken. According to the UN report said French soldiers guilty of sexual assault and rape of about ten homeless boys. The military gave food and money to the boys.
The Swede, who was suspended last nine months, a few days ago received a letter with the statement that the internal inquiry had exonerated him. "I am relieved and sad. It's still a mystery why the UN leadership did this to me, and they knew how bad the organization deals with these matters," Kompass said to The Guardian.
Earlier, an independent report concluded all that Kompass nothing wrong had done with passing on the information to the French.
Civil war
The abuse took place between December 2013 and June 2014. About two thousand French soldiers were then in the land for a peace mission during the civil war.
Last month, four soldiers were heard in Paris in connection with the case.
