In
Yemen 82 Killed in Prison While Pro Saudi
Guterres Lies and UNSC Under Juul Looks
Away

UN GATE, Jan 22 –
UN
Secretary
General
Antonio
Guterres on 27
March 2018
lavished
praise on
Saudi Crown
Prince
Mohammed bin
Salman now accused
with respect to
Jamal Khashoggi,
accepting
a $930 million
check from the
Saudis and UAE,
with not a
word of the
Saudi led
bombing
campaign that
has killed
civilians and
caused cholera
in Yemen.
While his team
still has MOU(s) with
MBS, Guterres
conceals
others
of his
financial
links.
Now with a
blind eye
being turned
by Guterres
and the UN
Security
Council under
Mona
Juul, who bans
Press
questions on
her links
to Jeffrey Epstein,
200 have been
killed or
injured in a
prison in
Yemen by an air
strike by the
Saudi UAE coalition.
From
MSF: An
airstrike
carried out by
the Saudi-led
coalition on
Yemen's Sa'ada
City Remand
Prison killed
at least 82
people early
yesterday and
injured 266,
according to
the Ministry
of Health,
while the
death toll
likely to
increase as
searchers comb
the
rubble.
Two staff
members of
Doctors
Without
Borders/Médecins
Sans
Frontières
(MSF) who
reside in
Sa'ada City
were in their
houses close
to the prison
at the time of
the airstrike.
They described
hearing
fighter jets
and then three
separate
explosions.
"There is no
way to deny
that this is
an airstrike,
everyone in
Sa'ada City
heard it,"
said one of
the MSF staff.
"I live one
kilometer from
the prison and
my house was
shaking from
the
explosions."
The coalition
described
reports that
the prison had
been hit and
detainees hurt
as "baseless
and
unfounded,"
but an MSF
staff member
who visited
the site of
the prison
confirmed that
it had been
destroyed, and
a second MSF
staff member
at the city's
al-Gumhourriyeh
Hospital
described the
hospital as
overwhelmed
with the
wounded.
"The hospital
is facing a
very difficult
situation this
morning, with
casualties
lying on the
floor," he
said. "There
are not enough
beds for all
of the
wounded."
The Internet
has been cut
off by an airstrike. The
UN and its
representatives
are failures - and
work.
Alongside COVID-19
cases and more
slaughter in
Yemen, Guterres while
refusing to answer
the Press or
tell the
public
obviously told
Swedish
insiders he was
dole out the
Yemen envoy
post to Hans
Grundberg.
Inner City
Press reported
this mid-July, 2021.
In
January
2022 the UN
denied
accreditation
to Inner City
Press with no
reason at all
given.
Past 4 pm on
Friday, August
30, 2019 the
UN issued a
denial of
accreditation
with no
reasoning
other than
that
accreditation
had previously
been revoked:

Your media
accreditation
request, with

This is
Kafka-esque,
and corrupt.
We will have
more, much
more, on this.
