UN GATE, July 29
– In the United Nations from
which SG Antonio Guterres has
banned Inner City Press 757
days for asking about his
complicity in the killing of
civilians in Cameroon and
their mass imprisonment by
China in Xinjiang, on July 29
German Ambassador Christoph
Heusgen held an event about
Venezuela, to end his July
presidency of the UN Security
Council.
Inner City Press at first
politely RSVP-ed for the
(online) event; then, getting
no response, it asked more
publicly. Eventually the Zoom
password arrived, and Inner
City Press signed in.
Heusgen told
attendees to "raise their
hand," or indicate in the Chat
they had a question. Inner
City Press did both, even
indicating the topic - prisons
- so there could be no excuse
to continue censorship.
But
censorship continued. Huesgen
called on a person in the chat
who asked after Inner City
Press - and didn't respond
when called on - but refused
to call on Inner City Press,
even after it turned on its
camera and physically /
visually raised its hand.
Those
listed, and complicit in
selective banning of
questions:
H.E. Ambassador
Christoph Heusgen, permanent
representative of Germany
to the UN H.E.
Ambassador José Singer
Weisinger, permanent
representative of the
Dominican Republic to the UN;
Louis Charbonneau, UN
director, Human Rights Watch;
Dr. Kathleen Page, researcher,
Johns Hopkins University
Selene Soto, senior counselor,
Women’s Link Worldwide
This is pure
censorship, and collusion with
Antonio Guterres who had Inner
City Press roughed up and
banned to try to cover up his
financial links to UN briber
CEFC China Energy, and
unexplained links with sex
trafficking including
Ghislaine Maxwell. This, and
the German Mission, are
shameful - or shameless. We'll
have more on this.
Back on
July 1 Heusgen took questions
only from pre-screened
in-house correspondents, one
of whose media has no
story by her since
2017, another with
no stories at all.
ignoring or even pretending
not to see a question about
Cameroon by Inner City Press.
Twitter here,
Periscope here.
In late
June Inner City Press wrote
twice to the German Mission to
the UN, about UN censorship
and then about UN
sexploitation. The German
Mission has yet to answer.
On July 1
Heusgen did not say a word
about the slaughter in
Cameroon, nor about the Tel
Aviv UN sexploitation exposed
by Inner City Press.
The
Program belatedly went up -
with countries on which
Heusgen ignored and censored
questions: West Africa, for
example. There will be COVID
(which the UN helped spread in
South Sudan) on July 2, "human
rights" and UN Peacekeeping -
UNTSO? - on July 7. Libya on
July 8, West Africa including
Nigeria / Cameroon on July 9.
Colombia and Syria on July 14;
Yemen (another UN failure) on
July 16. Conflict related
sexual violence, covered up by
Guterres and Stephane
Dujarric, on July 17. Cyprus
on the 20th, Middle East on
the 21st, climate on the 24.
Then what? They never sent the
Program. We'll have more on
this.
When Guterres'
spokes- / hatchetman Stephane
Dujarric holds his noon
briefings this month while
refusing all questions from
Inner City Press despite an on
camera promise.
And Germany? We'll report.
