UN GATE / SDNY,
May 3 – The UN's
hypocritical and selective
exploitation of World Press
Freedom Day began in Geneva -
while UN Secretary General
Antonio Guterres continues to
ban Inner City Press, through
Melissa Fleming, while his
spokespeople Stephane
Dujarric, Farhan Haq and
others refuses to answer any
of its written
questions.
From Geneva: "UN
High Commissioner for Human
Rights Michelle Bachelet
addresses World Press Freedom
Day ceremony with Nobel
Peace Prize Laureates Maria
Ressa and Dmitry Muratov
Geneva, 3 May.... Thank you to
the City of Geneva and the
Freedom Cartoonists Foundation
for hosting this vital event
and for putting the spotlight
on the fundamental role of
journalists. I am very pleased
to be
here.
It is an honour today to speak
alongside two esteemed
journalists, Maria Ressa and
Dmitry Muratov. Operating in
highly sensitive and risky
media spaces where journalists
are frequently subject to
intimidation."
Bachelet,
also implicated in the
attempted silencing and then
firing of whistleblowers like
Emma Reilly who exposed the UN
handing the names of Uighur
dissidents to the Chinese
government, has done nothing
about Guterres' banning of
Inner City Press, has not even
answered inquiries about it.
This as she has
wasted millions in public
money with covered up flights
back to and long stays in
Chile, while pretending to be
in Geneva. We'll have more on
this.
