GLASSHOUSE NYC,
Nov 17 –
Press
freedom was
celebrated by
media titans
and the likes
of Wells
Fargo, at
Manhattan's
Glasshouse on
November 17.
Inner City
Press was
there and live
tweeted,
thread here
OK
- now Press
Freedom
awards, to
hear awardees
incl Sevgil
Musaieva of
#Ukraine,
while the UN
bans Press but
lets in Iran
IRIB,
broadcasting
forced
confessions, here
Inner
City Press
will live
tweet a bit,
like court
cases today.
First
up is Sevgil
Musaieva
ofUkraine. She
recounts:
Grief faces
because life
wins out.
Before I left
Kiev, our
office lost
power. You ask
yourself if
you are more a
Ukrainian
citizen or a
journalist...
Maxsim Levin,
killed...
(Streamed
video here)
Next up is
Abraham
Jiménez Enoa
of Cuba.
His speech, in
Spanish: For
trying to show
the reality,
they treat you
like a
criminal ("un
delicuente") -
check out what
the United
Nations does,
here
Next
up, Pham Doan
Trang, Vietnam
- introduced
by CNN
correspondent
approached by
police while
covering
George Floyd
protests
(note: the UN
does not allow
protests on
"its" land in
Manhattan -
and SG Antonio
Guterres
has celebrated
VietNam Phan
Doan Trang is
in jail, so no
speech.
CNN
speaker says
some have been
released by
VietNam. No
thanks to
UNSG
Antonio
Guterres
or his equally
censoring
"human rights"
chief Volkan
Turk.
Next up, Iran
- does CPJ
know the UN
lets in IRIB,
bans Inner
City Press?
Speakers now:
Jason Rezaian,
in a tux.
Before being
banned by the
UN, Inner City
Press
interviewed
his brother.
But when does
Jason say
about IRIB
in the UN,
and UNCA?
Questions,
questions...
