As UN Bans Inner City Press 807th Day It E-Asks Spox Dujarric of Maxwell Sexploitation Elkorany SG Covid Syria CIV Bozkir Resign Namibia Cameroon Fleming 4000+ UNanswered

By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon IMF
BBC - Guardian UK - Honduras - CJR - PFT

UN GATE, Sept 17 – 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 September 17 after Guterres again refused to answer but the IMF did answer, here, and before what would have been, if he had not lazily canceled it after his two week vacation, 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 video with commentary here and here, edit here, June 16 video of Kaneko who had briefing go dark and never returned to explain here and here -- who will be held accountable? July 16 and ouster here, July 17 raw and UNTV, July 20 here, July 21 here and UNTV, July 22 here and UNTV, July 23 here, July 24 here and UNTV, July 28 UNTV, July 29 here, July 30 here, August 5 here, August 6 here, August 7 here, August 10 here with Scameroon question, August 11 briefing and quarantine violations, Aug 12 here, August 14 here, Aug 17 here, Aug 19 here, Aug 21 here, Aug 24 here, Aug 26 here, Aug 27 here, Aug 28 here, Sept 3 here, Sept 10 here, Sept 11 here, Sept 14 here, Sept 15 here, Sept 17 here and UNTV here, Inner City Press asked:

Sept 17-1: 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 

Again, immediately confirm or deny OIOS, UNICEF and UNHCR have been asked to act, by UN staff, about John Marks and Mysa Khalaf, Four Seasons Hotel in Syria - on ongoing deadline - the incident and video have been confirmed to Inner City Press and each of your refusal to respond in any way ill-serves even staff, unless your stated positions on that is as hypocritical as on press freedom. You are encouraged to answer today and separately to ensure Inner City Press' access to all press briefings in connection with UNGA week and UN75, UNSC 

On the Sept 2020 indictment of UN staff Karim Elkorany for drugging and raping women in Iraq, on which you have refused all Press questions, immediately explain information the UN has on those its staff member "sexually assaulted and/or drugged by the defendant or with whom the defendant had a romantic or physical relationship; (b) non-public nude, semi-nude, or sexualized photographs" (the Protective Order in SDNY) - how is Guterres not the kingpin of sex trafficking conspiracy, including given your refusal to answer these Press questions and banning of the Press?  Given that not only Cunillera but Michael Antoine are being paid by UNTSO after the #UNsexploitation exclusively exposed by Inner City Press, why have you not only refused all of Inner City Press' questions but also failure to update your now inaccurate statements about leave WITHOUT pay? How is this not lying?

On Cote d'Ivoire, what are the comments and actions of any of SG Guterres on that ex-Ivory Coast Prime Minister Guillaume Soro has questioned the legitimacy of elections scheduled for next month after he was barred from running for president.  Mr Soro, who is in exile in France, was excluded from the list of candidates approved by the constitutional court .

Immediately provide SG Guterres comment and action if any on OSSG Chekiek audio exclusively published on Sept 14 by Inner City Press here

 What is SG Guterres' response to the calls for him to resign, see e.g. here

What is the UN's response to Inner City Press' Sept 5 application for access to briefings to ask these and other questions (as it was allowed to do with the IMF on September 10), receipt of which was confirmed by MALU? How can retirees who publish nothing be allowed in, and Inner City Press which asks (without answer) and publishes be excluded, and it not be censorship? Now at noon on September 15, having been told by Brenden Varma to "ask MALU" for access codes to ask question of new PGA Zolkan Bozkir, given the history of SDNY-proved corruption by John Ashe and Sam Kutesa, among others, this is a request to teh spokesperson's office and all recipients for those codes, before 4:30 pm. Cc-ing Brenden Varma.

What are the comments and actions if any of SG Guterres on that The Chinese embassy in Namibia has denied reports of massive Chinese military presence in the south-west African country... The Defence Minister Peter Vilho, while responding to MPs concerns last week, said the reports "were confidential".  China recently denied claims of seeking to establish military bases in Kenya and Tanzania

On UN staffer Karim Elkorany, indicted in SDNY for lying to FBI about drugging and raping women while working for UN in Iraq, immediately state what the outcome of the victim complaining to the UN was - and why Elkorany was back at liberty in New Jersey.

AGAIN - immediately explain UN Amir Dossal being 1 of 5 on board of Ghislaine Maxwell's Terramar Project, and what has been done about it.

 Immediately provide the if-asked information on the new SEA charged data dumped this morning about allegations against South Africa "peacekeeper" in DRC and Gabon "peacekeeper" in CAR, and -- 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 Honduras and COVID corruption by the Juan Orlando Hernandez administration, what are the comment and actions if any of SG Guterres on the corruption allegations here? And again, what is the read out of Guterres' panel sent to Honduras? 

On Cameroon, what are the comments and actions if any of SG Guterres on that  Two of the seven soldiers who have been on trial in Cameroon for the murder of women and children have been released

  Immediate comments on the leaked audio of OSSC Chediek Inner City Press published Aug 5 on SoundCloud here (1 of 6)  
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?

On Cameroon, what are the comments and actions if any of SG Guterres on that Language differences played out in court in Cameroon during an appeal hearing against the life sentences handed down last August to Anglophone separatist leader Sisiku Ayuk Tabe and nine others.

as well as on the June 22 admission by Sri Lanka former PR Kohona that his country led a campaign to get Inner City Press ousted and banned from the UN after it reported on mass killings in Sri Lanka, as Inner City Press was also doing as to Cameroon when your UN banned it now for 801 day. What is the appeals process? On deadline."
