SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Nov 16 –
Islamic
Republic of
Iran
Broadcasting
is known for
filming forced
confession,
many of them
with torture.
They
also have a
correspondent
accredited by
and allowed
into the
United
Nations,
Kamran
Najafzadeh, a
full
dues-paying
member as
"Iran TV" of
the UN
Correspondents
Association,
which has
given China a
permanent
board seat
while working
with the UN to
ban
independent
Inner City
Press which
reports on it.

But
the hypocrisy
now spreads
from the UN of
Antonio
Guterres and
his UNCA to
the US State
Department and
US Mission to
the UN.
The
State
Department on
November 16
issued a press
release
about
"designating,"
presumably for
sanctions,
representatives
of IRIB - but
the State
Department and
its US Mission
under Linda
Thomas-Greenfield
have done
nothing about
the IRIB
representative
in the UN and
UNCA - which
Thomas-Greenfield
calls on first
- nor on the
UN's
continuing ban
of Inner City
Press, despite
this
letter.
UNCA will be
selling access
to UNSG Antonio
Guterres on December
9, charging
diplomats and
bribers hundreds
of dollars for
a garish event
at Cipriani
downtown with
Kate Hudson
and prizes to
cronies, here.
Who will
attend IRIB's
blood fest?
Watch this
site.
Here
is the US
State
Department's
November 16 press
release:
"The United
States is
designating
six
individuals
for acting for
or on behalf
of the Iranian
state-run
media
corporation,
the Islamic
Republic of
Iran
Broadcasting
(IRIB).
IRIB was
previously
sanctioned for
its
involvement in
the Iranian
government’s
censorship
activities.IRIB
acts not as an
objective
media outlet
but rather as
a key tool in
the Iranian
government’s
mass
suppression
and censorship
campaign
against its
own
people.
IRIB has
broadcasted
forced
confessions of
Iranian, dual
national, and
foreign
national
detainees in
Iran in
attempts to
distort facts
and spread
disinformation
about the
ongoing
protests in
Iran."
And
IRIB is in the
UNCA, and more
importantly
the UN, while
Inner City
Press is
banned. We'll
have more on
this.
