UN GATE, Jan 7 –
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 Jan 7 after Guterres again
refused to answer but
the IMF did answer, here
(3 Dec 2020), like here,
before Stephane "French
Whine" Dujarric,
previously the face of UN lies
on cholera in Haiti, held a
briefing, 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:
These written
question are posed and
responses requested pursuant
to the until-now broken
commitment the the UN will
"continue to answer e-mailed
questions from Mr Lee" Inner
City Press, here
Jan 7-1:
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 UN system lack
of accountability and lack of
watch lists, what are the
comments and actions if any of
SG Guterres about disgraced
MeToo perpetrator Frank La Rue
of UNESCO etc now being at NGO
Fundamedios, a human rights
organisation committed to
protecting journalists
(ha) A Fundamedios spokesman
said: 'We have not withheld
any information about our
newly appointed chairman, Mr
Frank La Rue. Our organisation
has highlighted what we
consider to be the most
relevant aspects of his
professional career.' He added
that Mr La Rue had 'deep
technical knowledge and strong
empathy with victims of abuse'
On Guinea Bissau
what are the comments and
actions if any of SG Guterres
on that Guinea-Bissau has
replaced the national director
of Interpol, Melancio Correia,
with former public prosecutor
Bacari Biai
As Inner City Press asked in the early
afternoon of Jan 5 with no answer (cover up),
On UN sexual exploitation and abuse - alleged
- this is a request that you immediately
provide the "if asked" information about the
new case of child rape in CAR by a Gabon
"peacekeeper," a UN civilian child rape in DRC
and a UN civil sex abuse case in South Sudan,
all data dumped at 12:35 pm on Jan 5, 2021,
after Farhan Haq's 2-question "briefing" and
the earlier cases of child rape and
sexual exploitation by UN "peacekeepers" from
Morocco, Uruguay, Ethiopia, Senegal and Benin
and again Cameroon, in DRC and Central African
Republic just cursorily data dumped onto the
UN website...What is being done for the
victims?
On Cameroon, what are the comments and
actions if any of SG Guterres on that ZIFA has
written to continental football authority Caf
seeking the postponement of this month’s
African Nations Championship (Chan) that is
set for Cameroon from January 16 to February
7. Zifa has cited an increase in the
number of Covid-19 cases globally and believes
staging the tournament will jeopardise the
health of not only players, but officials as
well - and, specifically, whether a sports
tournament should be held there given
government attacks in NW and SW regions.
Also, what are SG Guterres' comments and
actions if any on that Tunisia's football
federation (FTF) president Wadie Jary has been
banned by the country's National Olympic
Committee (NOC) for four years. In a
statement, the NOC stated that Jary had
'breached national and international Olympic
ethics codes'. The Olympic body said it
would be forwarding any complaints - which 'do
not fall under our jurisdiction' - against
Jary to both the International Olympic
Committee and Fifa. Jary, who has
governed the FTF since 2012, is hoping to
become a member of the Confederation of
African Football's Executive Committee when
elections take place in March. It is
unclear how the NOC's ban will affect his
candidacy, which is being assessed by Caf's
governance committee this week
On UN system corruption what are the comments
and actions if any of SG Guterres on reports
by whistleblowers to Inner City Press of what
they call the "Tedros tax," that 10% of the
funds of various WHO projects, departments /
units are transferred for use by Tedros'
office, or any similar transfers, and explain
them since even WHO personnel are suspicious
of them. Confirm or deny, and provide
comment on, WHO whistleblowers statement to
Inner City Press that at present, there are 26
Directors within the WHO that are under
investigation and that WHO internal oversight
is sweeping all of these investigations
under the carpet and the results are not made
public; these Directors are commonly put on
administrative leave to avoid that these
investigations becoming
public.
What are the
comments and actions of SG
Guterres and separately USG
Fleming (who is cited in this
article) to this:
December 29, 2020, El Portal
Diplomatico, "The Moroccan
lobby at the UN and Guterres'
Communication team veto
journalist specialized in the
Sahrawi issue," "the new head
of the Secretary General's
Communication team, Melissa
Fleming, prevented the entry
of journalist Matthew Lee,
specialized in armed conflicts
and with more than 10 years of
journalistic work in the
Organization. Thus,
media such as Inner City Press
are censored"
What of the
comments and actions of SG
Guterres on the failure(s) of
the Fifth (Budget) Committee?
What if anything has he done,
from his Portugal vacation?
How specifically will he
comply with New York
regulations and guidance on
COVID 19 when he returns to
New York?
What are the
comments and actions if any of
SG Guterres, who has received
funds from Gulbenkian
Foundation which tried to sell
its oil company Partex to CEFC
China Energy (and whose
financial disclosure covering
2016 did not list the
Gulbenkian funds) to today's
news that that US Second
Circuit Court of Appeals has
upheld the conviction for UN
bribery of CEFC China Energy's
Chi Ping Patrick Ho? And
please disclose business
interests and trips of SG's
son Pedro.
On the UN
system in Kenya, please
explain how current (and past)
UN system staff are doing
business in Kenya and why the
UN has taken no action, see,
Inner City Press here
What are the
comments and actions if any of
SG Guterres on that the
Senegal Mission and (former?)
PR Seck have refused to even
appear in Federal court in New
York in a fraud action, see
Inner City Press cited here
After UNDT purported to order me
to destroy evidence of sexual harassment by UN
staff Padula, AGAIN what are the responses of
SG Guterres and his consigliere Soares, UN
General Counsel now that the appeal has been
acknowledged and said to be on ePortal with
case number? "Weicheng Lin 9:39 AM
Dear Mr. Lee, I acknowledge receipt of
your filing. Case: UNAT/2020/1502
Dear Respondents, We received an Appeal
of UNDT Orders 178 (NY/2020) and 179 (NY/2020)
filed by Mr. Lee on 21 December 2020.
Mr. Lee who is not a staff member nor a party
to the case of the Applicant filed an appeal
against these orders with the Appeals
Tribunal. The Registrar accepted the
submissions and instructed that they be
transmitted to the parties in the UNDT
proceedings, and the Secretary-General for
comments within 30 days."
How is it acceptable that each of your takes
public money and refuses to answer or even
acknowledge Press questions, including about
UN staff's sexual abuse?
On Ethiopia what are the comments and actions
if any of SG Guterres that Ethiopia's military
has killed more than 40 men suspected to be
linked to the massacre of at least 100 people,
including children, in the Benishangul-Gumuz
region, state media report. Five current
and former government officials have also been
arrested over the killings, the reports added?
Where *is* SG
Guterres, and how much is it
costing the public, including
in UN Security costs? How long
will he (SG) be there? How
does it comply with quarantine
rules, including NY/USA
quarantine rules, and UK
rules?
AGAIN - On UN
sexual exploitation and abuse
- alleged - this is a request
that you immediately provide
the "if asked" information
about the new case of sexual
abuse by a Morocco
"peacekeeper" in DRC, data
dumped at 12:01 pm on December
17, and the cases of
child rape and sexual
exploitation by UN
"peacekeepers" from Uruguay,
Ethiopia, Senegal and Benin
and again Cameroon, in DRC and
Central African Republic just
cursorily data dumped onto the
UN website December 10
(Human Rights Day and that you
immediately provide the
"granular" information that
was promised today at noon to
correspondents who barely ask
or publish about this topic.
What is being done for the
victims?
On SG son Pedro
Guimarães e Melo De Oliveira
Guterres, explain how the

testing (and be tested if and when back),
under new NY rules
Immediately explain, given the Amir Dossal
was on board of Epstein's procurer Ghislaine
Maxwell's Terramar Project and Inner City
Press has repeatedly asked you each about in
writing, how Spokesman Dujarric's Oct 30 on
camera statement is not aware of any other
UN connection to Epstein, beyond IPI, was
and is not a lie and cover up.
Again, why did Guterres not list
Gulbenkian, linked to CEFC China Energy, in
his disclosure covering 2016? What are
Guterres' comments on IPI and Epstein, why
would he not say why he left the board? Why
has he not quit Club of Madrid? Why was Amir
Dossal on Board of Terramar of Ghislaine
Maxwell
On UN staffer

SDNY for lying to FBI about

liberty in New Jersey.
