SDNY / UN GATE,
August 25 – After a UN
Ambassador from South Sudan
raped a woman in upper
Manhattan then was released,
citing his UN diplomatic
immunity, Inner City Press at
noon on August 23 asked
UN Secretary General
Antonio Guterres' spokespeople
Stephane Dujarric and Melissa
Fleming for
"UN comment on
South Sudan dip evading rape
charge (mis)using diplomatic
immunity? He followed victim
into her Manhattan apartment
about noon, and then raped her
twice. #NoonBriefing."
Two
days later, no answer at all.
Other media asked the South
Sudan Mission (Inner City
Press published a list of its
UN Ambassador
here, including the
rapist Charles Dickens Imene
Oliha) and even the US State
Department, which rarely
stands up to the UN's
impunity, including its
banning of Inner City
Press.
On August 24, the
US State Department dodged or
bought time. On August 25,
Deputy Spokesperson Vedant
Patel, while taking two
separate questions from Voice
of America, refused to take
this Press question, about
what the State Department is
in fact doing to attempt to
ensure that this rapist
diplomat doesn't just leave
the US.
(Also, no one
asked nor was the Press
questions taken about UN
Bachelet punting on Xinjiang -
but that's another story).
Again, this is on
Antonio Guterres, who has
covered up dozens of rapes,
and bans the Press that asks
about it.
He is inviting
many more rapists to New York
City in September for the UN
General Assembly week; his
head of communication or
propaganda Melissa Fleming has
not answered a letter
from pro bono law firm Quinn
Emanuel seeking re-admission
of Inner City Press to cover
it, and this. Watch this
