UN GATE, Aug 21 –
Inner City Press on 5 July
2018 was banned from entering
the UN, two day after it was
physically removed from
conducting interviews outside
meeting about the UN Secretary
General Antonio Guterres' $6.7
billion budget.
Then
Guterres' Department of Global
Communication, run by Melissa
Fleming, issued a letter
banning Inner City Press from
the UN - for life. With no due
process, no right of
appeal. Guterres has put
the UN in the US Press Freedom
Tracker, here. Guterres'
Spokesman Stephane Dujarric
falsely promised on camera
that he would be answering
banned Inner City Press'
questions - but see below.
On August 21 after Guterres again
refused to answer but
the IMF did answer, here,
and before an amateur UN noon
briefing by quarantine
violator Stephane "French
Whine" Dujarric,
previously the face of UN lies
on cholera in Haiti, Inner
City Press submitted yet more
questions (blocked by
Dujarric's screener Florencia
Soto Nino on +1
917 226 7816
and Dujarric
himself on +1
917 622 7652;
he directed
some favored
scribes to Eri
Kaneko on +1
917 208 8910,
who now blocks
Inner City
Press on
WhatsApp as
well)
including on the basis on
which it continues to be
lawlessly banned from entering
to ask questions in person.
Now also on the basis for
withholding publicly funded UN
video from the Press. There
was no answer from Farhan Haq
on +1 917 592 4591, not even a
confirmation of receipt, and
now UN official like Hua
Jiang, Eri Kaneko, now on
screen Jennifer Confilio, Adam
Smook, Marisela Rivera and
others to be named taking
public money for a UN briefing
blocking email questions about
the UN's spread of Covid 19 - May 21

Inner City Press asked:
Aug 21-1:
Immediately respond to (as you
have to date refused to) and
explain this leaked audio,
exclusively published by Inner
City Press, of OIOS' Ben
Swanson here
On the
UNTSO UN sexploitation case,
as Inner City Press asked on
August 13, 2020, immediately
state why since Procurement
driver Juan Carlos Cunillera
was driving, and violated UN
carlog procedures, he is now
being fully paid unlike what
your Office previously
announced while refusing to
answer any of the questions of
Inner City Press which first
published the video. Now that
Cunillera requested and got
disappearance of the order,
explain why your refusal to
answer is not simply a
Guterres cover up of UN sexual
abuse.
On the UN Field Staff Union, as
published by Inner City Press, writing a
letter to SG Guterres complaining he ignored
them on the racial / racist questionnaire and
other "equally important issues," what are the
SG's responses? 1) confirm receipt of the
letter. 2) responses? On Cameroon, what
are the statements and actions if any of SG
Guterres, after your recent statement on
Muyuka, on the killing of civilians by the
government there?
On SG Guterres' supposed quarantine,
immediately explain the Aug 12 photo of the
Dutch Permanent Representative with SG
Guterres, and again who the at least two men
without masks who went into the mansion /
residence on the afternoon of August 11 were,
and how these in any way complies with
quarantine procedures. Now that you have
admitted Guterres went to Portugal, what WERE
the quarantine procedures you say he complied
with where, what individuals did he take there
and was he with there, and why were maskless
men (and it seems the Dutch PR) going into
Guterres' "strict" quarantine? What about chef
de cabinet Ribeiro - will she quarantine? Now
- how is having met US Sec of State Pompeo
consistent with quarantine? How many people
went in, and who, after Dujarric said only the
bare minimum? Has contact tracing been done?
As Inner City
Press asked each of you on
August 17 without answer, re
new 2020 UN child rape in
South Sudan case data dumped
on the afternoon of August 17
- immediately provide all
if-asked info of the type
previously provided under Ban
Ki-moon before SG Guterres
tried to cover everything
up, and August 5, 9 am
by Italy in Lebanon, South
Africa in DRC and an
UNSPECIFIED UN civilian CHILD
RAPE in DR Congo of July 28 of
Gabon in CAR and Guinea in
DRC, on top of those of July
23, 6 pm that you immediately
provide all if-asked / further
information about the new UN
sexual exploitation
allegations in CAR against UN
"peacekeeper" from Gabon, and
in DRC by South Africa, on top
of unanswered UNTSO driver
question and those data dumped
on June 4 after 2:30 pm - the
twelfth batch this summer so
far, no answers, UNSG
complicit
On Kenya, what
are the comments and actions
if any of SG Guterres and
separately his resident
coodinator Sid on the exposé
that alleges massive looting
and disappearance of millions
of dollars of donor funds and
equipment meant to help the
country contain the spread of
coronavirus.
On Mali what are
the comments and actions if
any of SG Guterres on that
there are reports of gunfire
inside an army base near the
Malian capital Bamako.
On Cameroon, what
are the comments and actions
if any of SG Guterres to Paul
Biya's soldiers' killing of 16
year old girl Bessem Enow in
SW on Aug 12?
On SG Guterres'
supposed quarantine,
immediately explain the Aug 12
photo of the Dutch Permanent
Representative with SG
Guterres, and again who the at
least two men without masks
who went into the mansion /
residence on the afternoon of
August 11 were, and how these
in any way complies with
quarantine procedures. Now
that you have admitted
Guterres went to Portugal,
what WERE the quarantine
procedures you say he complied
with where, what individuals
did he take there and was he
with there, and why were
maskless men (and it seems the
Dutch PR) going into Guterres'
"strict" quarantine? What
about chef de cabinet Ribeiro
- will she quarantine?
UNCTAD's Mukhisa
Kituyi on August 12 "addressed
his plans to vie for President
in the upcoming 2022 general
elections. The former
Tongaren MP, based in Geneva,
gave the clearest indication
yet, that he planned on making
a stab at the top seat.
Kituyi confirmed during an
interview that he had put
together an exploratory
committee to look into the
modalities of a potential
State House bid" - what is SG
Guterres' position? How can
Kityui do this while a UN
official?
Also on Kenya,
what are the comments and
actions if any of SG Guterres
on that Kenyans living in
Lebanon's capital Beirut have
been demonstrating outside the
consular office demanding to
be flown back home.
What are the
comments and actions if any of
SG Guterres and separately USG
Fleming on Hong Kong's (and
China's) action against Apple

morning of August 5 with no
response from any of you: -
this is a request on the new
UN sex abuse cases data
dumped August 5, 9 am by
Italy in Lebanon, South Africa
in DRC and an UNSPECIFIED UN

Congo - immediately provide
all if-asked info of the type

weeks and if anyone will go in
and out during that time,
under NYC rules. And- where
was he? And with whom?
Will UN Security remain 24 hours a day
in the Sutton Place residence? Or go in and
out? Does that comply with NYC law? Same
questions as to Spokesperson Dujarric, gone 2
weeks. Immediate comments on the leaked
audio of OSSC Chediek Inner City Press
published Aug 5 on SoundCloud here
(1 of 6)
How does SG
Guterres explain the permanent
lay off of food work staff in
the UNHQ and referring them to
US/NY unemployment?
At UNHQ, why is

On Ghislaine
Maxwell and UNEP's Lisa Svensson, who has been
exposed in SDNY has saying the UN doesn't care
about sex trafficking, what is SG Guterres'
response?
And on Amir Dossal being 1 of 5 on Maxwell's
Terramar board? Immediately state the
UN's / DGC's and Melissa Fleming's knowledge
of sex harassment and exploitation in the UN
resident press corps including France 24 and
any and all actions taken.
Explain why the
SG now says he can seize and
search all UN staff members
phones and laptops, how it
relates to the UNTSO
Sexploitation case exclusively
exposed by Inner City Press
and why no discipline by
actual driver Juan Carlos
Cunillera - was his phone
searched?
