UN Censorship Collusion by Mayors Migration Council UNresponsive to Press Freedom Letter

By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Maxwell Book
BBC-Guardian UK - Honduras - ESPN NY Mag

SDNY / UN GATE, May 14 – At today's UN, everything is corrupted. UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres, who omitted from his financial disclosure his link to convicted UN briber CEFC China Energy, threw out and bans the Press which asked about it.

His head of media accreditation Melissa Fleming, and his UN Correspondents Association, have refused to answer a polite letter about this censorship from the pro bono law firm Quinn Emanuel.  Video here.

 Now they corrupt climate change: "Press briefing with members of the United Nations Correspondents Association (UNCA) moderated by Valeria Robecco, ANSA News Agency; President, UN Correspondents Association When: Wednesday 18 May, 9:00 - 9:45 am ET  Where: UNCA Room S-310, 3rd Floor, United Nations  The press conference will be live streamed via Zoom for remote attendees. RSVP to receive the Zoom link. Who: Yvonne Aki-Sawyerr, Mayor of Freetown, Sierra Leone Erias Lukwago, Lord Mayor of Kampala, Uganda Giuseppe Sala, Mayor of Milan, Italy Valérie Plante, Mayor of Montréal, Canada  Contact: Jake Adler, Head of Communications at the Mayors Migration Council."  

 What due diligence did this group do before this event? How can a "Correspondents Association" refuse to answer a polite letter from a major law firm about why they support UN censorship? We'll have more on this.

This is the Executive Committee on UNCA which can't even answer a law firm letter about their role in UN censorship: 

Those in receipt of the first, friendly letter: melissa.fleming@un.org, marialuiza.viotti@un.org, mekel@un.org, malu@un.org,  and UNCA

Three of the 15 are from French media, two from Italy, with various dictatorships represented.

  Once-newly "elected" is Carrie Neuton of Le Monde, with 32 votes. She is now responsible for the UNCA board's lack of response to a law firm's letter about their / her role in censorship.
