UN Viagra Claims, Russian Prank Call Exposure

Pramila Patten, the UN Special Representative on Sexual Violence in Conflict, admitted in a prank call that she had no evidence for claims that Russian soldiers were being issued Viagra to commit rapes. The call, conducted by Russian comedians, revealed that Patten's office has an "advocacy mandate" rather than an investigative one. She acknowledged that official reports from the ground contained no mention of the drug, despite her previous statements to the media.
