UNITED NATIONS, United States, March 5, 2024 (BSS/AFP) - UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has denied trying to suppress a UN report on sexual violence by Hamas against Israelis during the October 7 attacks, his spokesman said Monday.

   "The work was done thoroughly and expeditiously. In no way, shape or form did the secretary-general do anything to keep the report 'quiet.' In fact, the report is being presented publicly today," Guterres's spokesman Stephane Dujarric told AFP.
