UN GATE, Jan 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 Jan 21 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 again promoting a 2d
term for Guterres, 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

we too will cover, and did

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 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
AGAIN, what are
comments and actions if any of
SG Guterres on the Jan 19 EDNY
indictment of Kaveh Lotfolah
Afrasiabi, a/k/a “Lotfolah
Kaveh Afrasiabi,” with acting
and conspiring to act as an
unregistered agent of the
Government of the Islamic
Republic of Iran, in violation
of US FARA? Specifically, what
is SG Guterres response to the
statement in the complaint
that the now-detained
defendant AFRASIABI illegal
payments "have been drawn on
the IMUN’s bank account at a
financial institution in Long
Island City in Queens, New
York" - on information and
believe, UNFCU? And how do you
justify not answering this
Press question, but taking
propaganda questions from Iran
state media?
On Ethiopia what
are the comments and actions
if any of SG Guterres on that
a journalist working for
Ethiopia's Tigray TV has been
found dead. Dawit Kebede Araya
was discovered on Wednesday
along with another dead man
inside a car in the Adi Hawsi
neighbourhood of Mekelle.
On Tunisia, what are the comments and
actions if any of SG Guterres on the more than
600 arrests of protesters, beyond falsely
ascribing all inequalities to the COVID
pandemic? With Tunisia the president of the UN
Security Council this month? Disclose all SG
communications with UNSC members, particularly
but not only Permanent Members, since he
decided to seek a second term while banning
Press and failing on Cameroon and other
conflicts.
On Uganda, what are the comments and actions
if any of SG Guterres on that Bobi Wine,
leader of Uganda’s main opposition party, said
troops raided its headquarters
On Cameroon, FIFA
and the CHAN held in a
warzone, what now are SG
Guterres' comments and actions
if on that the Fifa President
Gianni Infantino has called
for officials of Cameroon's
Football Federation (Fecafoot)
to respect a decision from the
Court of Arbitration of Sports
(CAS) annulling elections held
in 2018. On 15 January
the Switzerland-based court
cancelled those polls, which
saw Seidou Mbombo Njoya voted
in as Fecafoot president,
after several amateur clubs
led by Olympique Meiganga
challenged the procedure which
they said was flawed.
The ruling, which coincided
with the start of the 2020
African Nations Championship
(CHAN)
On UN system
corruption, what are SG
Guterres comments and actions
if any on the UK's letter
saying that Inner City Press'
reporting uncovered over
$400,000 in fraud - and how
does he explain banning Inner
City Press from entering or
asking quesitons at the UN?
Isn't this just covering up
corruption? See, here.
On Cote
d'Ivoire, what are the
comments and actions if any of
SG Guterres on that opposition
parties in Ivory Coast want
the electoral body to postpone
legislative elections due to
be held on 6 March as they say
they need more time to prepare
for them.
Given his attempt
to get a 2d term as SG, what
is Antonio Guterres' response
to the answer to Inner City
Press' Jan 13 question by Ken
Roth of HRW, that Guterres is
been (even) weaker than Ban
Ki-moon on human rights? See,
here
On Cameroon,
AGAIN, 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
WEEKEND’s African Nations
Championship (Chan) that is
set for Cameroon from January
16 to February 7.
What are SG
Guterres comments on deadline
on events in Uganda - and in
Kenya, where four Kenyan human
rights activists have been
arrested outside the Ugandan
embassy in Nairobi.
Likewise on
Western Sahara, what is
Guterres response to this in published
interview: "under Ban Ki-moon,
and the tail end of Kofi
Annan's time when I first
arrived, I could ask questions
about Western Sahara in the UN
noon briefing, and at the UNSC
stakeout. Under Guterres, this
was blocked but he and Melissa
Fleming have allowed numerous
Morocco state media full
access and office space in the
UN.
Why does
Guterres' UN, unlike the IMF
even today, refuse to answer
Inner City Press' questions
about China? See Jan 8, 2021
IMF video of Inner City Press'
question on the Belt and Road
(CEFC) and African debt
levels, here.
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?
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 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?
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

On Western Sahara

10/8/2008, was arrested while
attending classes at the
Al-Nahda school in occupied El

Moroccan security
headquarters, where she was
subjected to torture
State whether SG Guterres, as he told FOSS,
went to Massachusetts and if so whether he
will stay there are least three days for
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
Karim Elkorany, indicted in
SDNY for lying to FBI about
drugging and raping women
while working for UN in Iraq,
immediately state what the

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

Sri Lanka, as Inner City Press
was also doing as to Cameroon
when your UN banned it now for
916+ days. What is the appeals
process? On
deadline."
